NIVERSITY'S GOALS always best - ask USD students

The rwo "candidates" were jomcd by, from left, Helen Casey, Ruch Mulvaney and Marge Hughes. Proceeds will go co the universiry's financial aid program. Reservations can be made through USD's public relations office.

"A Jot of families and students are willtng to make sacrifices for a quality education On the other hand, we have the responsibility to see that they get 1t, once they enroll here " Hughes said. "We have an increasing number of financial aid packages available to our students. In almost all cases, work is involved About 80% of the students are working either fu~l or part-time. They are employed either on or off campus. "The financial aid office works closely with the students to find jobs for them." Hughes recalls that whe~ he moved into the president's.office m 1971 coming here from a vice pres1- den~y at No1thern Arizona Universi• ty m Flagstaff, hr had some finan- (Cont. on page B-14, col. 1) ..

lion at a private university such as USD the students and their parents must face higher costs. The tariff is considerably Jess at one of the state universities. • Hughes estimated the cost for a student carrying a full load and livmg on campus for an academic year averages about $4,500. That IS broken down into room and board about $1,600, tuition, $2,400, and _the remainder for books, recreat10n, clothes and miscellaneous. A check at San Diego State showed a California resident livmg on cam- pus and taking a comparable class load would pay about $~,600 a y_e~r. The maJor difference ism the tmllon or fe s. Since State ts supported by state funds, the fees for an average stu- dent amount to only $218.

valved in a moral setting. "The lhlrd reason 1s that our lnst1- tut1on ha a good reputation for qual!ty education '' And USD's location has to be an asset. The buildings, dominated by the white-and-blue domed Church of the Immaculata, can be seen for mlles around. "We are beautifully situated, you must admit,' Hughes said, smiling, pointing toward the window over- looking the campus. "People who live in other parts of the state know about how ideal our climate Is. And for tho e who live in the Mid\\e:,1 and East, that's all we have to do is show our film in the wint r, with San D go's beaches and people surfmg They flock out here• £ut to enjoy the benef1 of educa-

we are trying to hold enrollment pretty constant. It has about !IOO students now and we want to hold it at that." The gradual hikes m tmt1on appar- ently did not discourage attendance at USD. Hughes attributPd this, in part, to the first-rate faculty attract- ed to the university. "That's where it is with a school - having a fine faculty,'' he said. "If a student feels he or she is being ripped off, he or she won't be back. • The attntion rate among the stu- dents here at USO at one time was high, about 12%, between fall and spring semester. Last year, 1t was down to one-half of 1%. "This is a reflection totally on our faculty. They work with the stu- dents. That's very important. The faculty spends a lot of time with them on a human basis.' On the financial front, USO has done quite well, thanks to various programs initiated by Hughes and his staff. "We have the President's Club - people who give $100 a year to the university - which is very loyal," Hughes said "We have a corporation program, where firms are solicited The busi- nPss community is very supportive of USO.' An active alumni association has grown since Hughes arrived ,!Jere. At one time there was a more predominant Catholic presence on

the USD campus. In addition to the Church of the Immaculata, there was St. Francis Seminary, where diocesan seminarians were trained for the priesthood. The faculty was largely staffed by priests and nuns. That picture has been altered in recent years. The seminary 1s now located off-campus, but still close. "But there is no connection between it and the university," Hughes said. "On campus, the seminarians are the same as any other students." The makeup of the faculty has changed considerably In the present faculty of 170, there are only 11 priests and 14 nuns teaching, and they are confined to classes in theol• ogy and philosophy. Hughes said he is pleased with the ways matters ha\-e been goin~ at USD. Enrollment 1s up The univer- sity is now oprrating in the black. A new School of Nursmg will be built early next year, largely from a $1· million gran from the government. He is a s r ng advocate of the independent n vcr~ity over the state-supported nstltution. "Private Education is an mctispen- sible part of thP \mencan system of higher education. Apnvate universi- ty i fr o experiment. to change its pu ses its philosophy, or its delivery of programs at the discre- tion of its governing board." He feels that l. the strength of l:SD and its sister private institu- t10ns. Critic Told About Bishop's Citizenship While I ran readily understand that Bishop Leo T. Maher's publicly stated opposition to the extension of Black"s Beach would provoke a rather heated controversy in the San Diego community, I fail to appreci- ate the assertions of some (e.g., R. Blair Maine in Reader's Viewpoint, 12-17-76) who would deny the bishop his constitutional right to express his opinion merely because of the tax- exempt status of the church. It is true that the Founding Fa- thers of this country wisely separat- ed church and state; but it is not equally truP. that this separation amounts to a disenfranchisment of citizens who are actively involved in the church. Bishop Maher, like all diocesan priests, pays personal in- come tax; Roman Catholic people, who compnse one quarter of the American population, pay taxes, and Roman Catholic institutions pay taxes on those segments of their property not dirertly related to relig- ious, educational or charitable pur- poses. It is my hope that in a free sof'iety, people (including bishops) may con- / tinue to exercise their rights of free ' speech \\llhout haVJng vetled threats hurled at them by the ill-informed. Disagreement and discussion. yes, but silencing, no. Keep up the good work, bishop; you certainly are rat- tling some cages! REV. LAURENCE P. DOLAN p irector of Campus Ministrit A rebuttal to R. Bla1r Maine re- marks critical of Bishop Leo T Maher: he says, quote, "As long as the church accepts its special tax exemption it should not interfere with tax-supported recreation." Mr. Maine says the bishop has no right to preach to tax-paid city manager. Bishop Maher is a U.S. citizen and also a U.S. taxpayer. Should Bishop Maher Jose his rights because he is a Roman Catholic bishop? ALVARO L. SOTELO San Diego

win streak In seeking their ninth straight victory against no losses, the University of San Diego Toreros would like to have less trouble with Northridge State to- night at Alcala Park than they did with the same basketball team Dec. 2. USD nosed out the Mata- dors by a single point, 65-64, in the first meeting. It will be the Toreros' last home game until Jan. 17.' They will be on the road next week, playmg the Santa Clara Broncos Tues- day night and Hayward State a week from tonight. Northridge's record is a bit deceiving. Three of its losses have come at the hands of major colleges, in- cluding Fullerton State, Stanford and Loyola. The Matadors' top scorer is Lon Trotter, a 6-7 center, With an average of 11.6 points per game and a rebounding average of 6.2. The first meeting of the quintets was so close that it took Don Gibb's baseline jumper at the buzzer to decide the outcome. Ron Cole, who scored 19 points against Northridge earlier this month, tops the Toreros with 127 points for the seven games he has played. His percentage is .577, well ahead of runner- up Buzz Barnett's 515. Har- nett is second in points, too, with 117 - 12 more than Eddie Davis.

The University of San Diego will be trying to pick up where it left off tonight when it travels to UCSD for a basketball game begin- ning at 8 When last seen, ntne days ago, the Toreros were ;weeping past U.S Interna- tional University and rul)- ning their record to 7-0. This represents the best start in Torero history and USD will be trying to ex- tend the str1ng this evenmg "We might be a little rusty but I think the layoff helped us," coach Jim Bro- velh said today "I thmk we're a little fresher men- tally and I know we're bet- ter off physically." --~--~---&

The week off gave USD's two injured players - Ron Cole and Rick Michlemore - time to heal. Cole, the team's leading scorer with an average of 20.5, missed the USJU game with a sprained toe '1ichlemore has been hampered by a badly-bru- ised elbow. Both are again ready to go as the Toreros await tonight's game in La Jolla. USD is closing in on its school record for consecu- tive victones. The record of 12 was set in 1957-58. This Torero team ha.~ won nine m a row since the end of last year. UCSD is coming off a rugged, three-game swing through the Rocky Moun- tains The Tritons were beaten by major rollege op- ponents Denver, Wyoming and Colorado State and will bring a record or 2-5 into tonight's game This crosstown series began in 1968 and the Toreros have gotten most of the best of it. USD leads, 11 victories to one, and has beaten UCSD 10 traight times.
