In the first week, they slowly came toknow each other. As the student went into registration, he entered lines of students alone. Through the long hours of tension, routine, and worry, a few became friends. The hours became shorter. 69 70 As classes began, the student gained more friends. Now there was time for relaxation. The school became not only a place to learn, but a place to live. There were many surprises for the students at the welcome dance, painting of the U., the hootenanny, and the luau. wms$iw ...Friends moved outdoors. The Associated Students hosted a beach party, and students began venturing to land escapes in San Diego. . . .Th e Autumn Informal provided the newly-found friends with their first chance to be alone again or . . 72 73 74 . Reborn with a unique spirit, the students imploded together to form large groups, small groups, social groups, and political groups. The Black students and the Chicanos got to gether, as did the fraternities and the Irish. / .. And then the explosion came at The Happening. Over half the students gathered and formed an academic and spiritual unity. The face of the school seemed the same, but the students were together. 78 79 The face of the school began to change at The Happening, reflecting the students growing feeling of individuality and community. The changes for which the students appealed, including parietal visiting, the first effected, gave the students the opportunity to relax andenjoy auniversity life. With life alittle easier,life was a little easier. "I wish I was a Kellogg's cornflake, floating'in my bowl taking movies, relaxin'awhile, sittin' in style." —Paul Simon 82 83 "An unlesson'd girl, unschool'd, unpracticed; Happy in this, she is not yet so old But she may learn." --William Shakespeare . . . Life flowed so easily in October that girls turned to football. Drilled in inexperience, the team entertained the male fans and learned a lesson besides; to paraphrase Mark Twain, "This is a sport that makes a girl's very liver curl with excitement." ...Those students who attended the speech of John Tunney, candidate for the United States Senate, early in October, were unknowingly witnesses to the birth of political consciousness on campus. . Five days later, the cycle was completed. The University of San Diego was assaulted by a national movement, and the students were transformed in the phantasmagorical event. 86 "The timeless instant passed; the pendulum reversed its swing. In an empty room, floating amid the fires of a double star twenty-thousand light-years from Earth, a baby opened its eyes and began tocry." --Arthur C. Clarke The infant Politic at the University began to grow from this day. . .With the approach of Christmas vacation politics was overshadowed by festivities and finals. Donna Crawford, the Black Student Union's candidate, reigned over Homecoming Week activities which included concerts, horseplay, and the Homecoming dance. The football team ended the week on a positive note, winning the Homecoming game and providing the Homecoming night with its first touch of excitement. The semester slowed down to a gradual halt. Basketball offered relief to the final- weary student. Christmas-time came on a quiet note, asstudying replaced revelling and cramming replaced involvement. i , .. -•-- ....... I• •• - .--19' ~ • • • I What is new is new not because it has never been there before, but because it has changed in quality. --Robert Oppenheimer 89 WHAT'S ALL THIS BROU-HA-HA? — FIRESIGN THEATER Just a few notes on the year and the yearbook. Changes came by the bushel the past year, and reflecting on them all in not particularly easy, even in the calm of summer. What seemed to begin like all school years ended like no other for many at the University, myself included. Reg istration was the same. Lines always are. The classes and the work were the same. But somehow, somewhere in September, the slow evolving pattern emerged that ultimately plunged the Univer sity into national interests and united the students in an intense learning and living experience. We have said in the book that students found the University not to be just a place to learn, but a place to live. In this, the school is progressing, becoming an integral part of the world surrounding it, and not just a set of classrooms where the arts and sciences are displayed to students like curios in a shop. The students are living and learning; the two cannot really be separated. Many people helped in producing this book. A number of excellent ideas were contributed and tied together by the editors. Unfortunately, mistakes were also made, some of which could not be rectified. We are sorry we did not cover more adequately the three most important dances of the year and some of the other social events. It was our intention to give them much more emphasis than they appear to have in the book. For those who miss seeing these events covered, I offer my apologies. Much of what direction a yearbook takes is determined by theme, photography, and luck. We chose "Faces" as a theme because we could work well with it, being able to portray the school visually from many angles. Our theme editor was Randy Woodard, who, along with the Black Avenger, worked long, and often exasperatedly, to unify the yearbook. We were fortunate with the photography we received. Victor Avila, Rocky Bayless, Pat Canova, Greg Downs, and Karl Eklund provided the staff with photographs which were excellent visual representations of nebulous ed itorial ideas. The photography was excellent. Copy editor Claudia Little was the energy of the staff. No one worked longer during the school year. Mike Breen put together the entire sports section, with little assistance from anyone. Mike also helped finish the yearbook during the summer. Madeline Monte surfaced during respites from illness to help and encourage, as our layout editor. The spirit of her wit is here somewhere. Activity editor was a tough assignment. We lost several. The two who eventually shared the job were Terry Hanten andDonata Luberski. Ithank them both. Cathy Bittick did so much work on the book that I eventually appointed her research editor. It eased my con science. Cathy, Randy, and Mike were the main contributors during the summer. Others who contributed many more hours than expected included Lo Dillon, Karen Doyle, Carlos Goulart, and Dan Meyers. It was a l ong year. A lot of work went into the book. There were misfortune^ and good fortunes, but without the work, the book wouldn't be what it is. it seems that perhaps there isnothing unholy nothing unrelated and thatas we fit things together synthesize rather than analyze. 91 sister corita Pat Canova They speak to our capacity for delight and wonder, to the senseof mystery surrounding our lives; to our sense of pity, and beauty, and pain. -Joseph Conrad H K P H man Lovely to see you again my friend. Walk along with me to the next bend. Tell us what you've seen in farawayforgotten land Where empires have turned back to sand. Wonderful day for passing my way. Knock on my door and even the score With your eyes. —Justin Hayward 94 New friends nearly forgotten returned. Friendships were renewed and faces remembered after the six-week vacation. The students found a new home for their recreation and activities with the opening of the student union. 95 The experimental college, first conceptualized at the happening, came to life within the student union, offering classes in music, ceramics, karate, mysticism, guitar, group encounter, and radicalism. One of the most popular experimental college classes was the appearance of members of the John Birch Society in the class on radicalism. The discussion packed the student union with mixed emotions and ideas. Black is Beautiful Week, sponsored by the Black Student Union, also found a home in the new student union. The door to the world of black culture was opened for the students of the University. 96 . . . The spring continued to nurture enthusiasm and activity. Friends gath ered to share the intoxicating air of Spring at the Associated Student Hayride. It was a time also for receiving and giving. Students listened to guest speakers Dr. Eugene Schoenfield, (Dr. Hip), Robert Keyes, Alex Haley, John Stull, Monte Kirven, and Jim Flournoy. Lovely tosee you again my friend. Walk along with me to the nextbend. Tell us what you've seen in faraway forgotten land. 98 . . .The students gave help and affection to deaf children and gave their time to assist the Students for Environmental Awareness in their campus cleanup. Wonderful day for passing my way. 99 . . . A s t h e d a y s g r e w l o n g e r , t h e r e was a t ime for self involvement. The Theatre Arts department created an atmosphere of expression with a series of workshop scenes and "Ab sence of a Cello," their major pro duction of the year. Weekdays became for many a ritual of study and intramural bas ketball. Knock on my door and even the score with Your eyes. . . The folk concert night brought together the many moods of people and their music. There were many smiles. Student-sponsored activities rounded the bend and neared the completion of their year. The University Ball, the last of the major social events, cemented the year's friendships and feelings. 102 The fraternities ended their year with the traditional Greek Week, a mosaic of com radeship, rivalry, and life. 103 It's only a little planet but how beautiful it is. —Robinson Jeffers 104 EARTH WEEK And we are just beginning tolearn. 105 People running round it's fiveo'clock. Everywhere in town is getting dark. Everyone you see is full of life. —John Lennon A flurry of life before the close of the year. Wine was sa vored at the tasting party. The opera night animated some, enlivened many. There was life to share. The students gave freely when the bloodmobile arrived. There was l ife to share, father and son met ag for a weekend. Mother and daughter, iin and were together Some say life is here. Some say life isthere. I kn ow It's everywhere. 108 110 . . The world outside the school was too important to be ignored in May. Triggered off by the Kent State tragedy, students everywhere reacted explosively. Cambodia became a personal subject for each student. The school was tense. Through a series of Open Speech Forums, student votes, and much discussion, the Univer sity remained open. Ateach-in was proposed and realized. During the entire crisis, the University was one with the world, becoming its potential and becoming its problems. Teachers became students, and students teachers; roles changed continuously, and learn ing was a life-style. "You who are informed and support the war; you're alright. You who are informed and oppose the war: you're alright. But you who haven't bothered to get information and be informed while over forty thousand men have died: you're the murderers! How can you allow so many to die and not care?" —Student at Open Speech Forum Some say life ishere. Some say life isthere. I know It's everywhere. I l l 112 Finals marked for many a new life. The year was good preparation. 113 One thing that is new is the prevalence of newness, the changing scale and scope of change itself, so that the world alters as we walkin it, so that the years ofman's life measure not some small growth or rearrangement or moderation of what he learned in childhood, but a great upheaval. —Robert Oppenheimer 114 115 ..

The pounding cleats converged on the field. For the first time in seven autumns football returned to USD. Coach Jim Gray and his staff, working without pay, had tackled the job of molding forty men, many with football experience and others with none,into the USD Toreros. It was a challenge from its inception. Yet the Toreros were to overcome financial difficulties, abbre viated practices, a rash of injuries, and a tough first- year schedule to bring pride and spirit to the campus and a deep inner satisfaction for themselves. The Toreros, competing in the student sponsered Club Football Program, were to distinguish themselves on the gridiron with a 5-2 record an a No. 12 national ranking among the fifty Club Football teams in the country. As an unknown and untested team the Toreros faced the No. 2 and No. 4 Club Football teams in their first two outings. Despite losing to Loyola and St. Mary's, the losses were invaluable in that the Toreros demon strated that what they lacked in size and experience they could make up for with hustle and guts. Except for a shakey opening quarter against Loyola the scrappy Toreros outplayed and outhit the larger Lions the entire game. A first half lead against St. Mary's showed that the Toreros were amazingly strong for a first year team. From this point on Coach Gray's charges put it together with a well-oiled offensive attack and a hard-nosed, never-say-die defense to power out five straight victories. RED LIGHT—Nick Johns and Mike Eyer team up to stop Engineer quar terback. This play was typical of the Toreros' gang tackling defense. I « Hgi 1 II® ',I AIR POWER—The Torero passing attack clicks as Fran Upczak works for a Gary Beagin pass and a 15 yard gain. The Toreros grabbed the first win of the campaign as they battled back with a fourth quarter rally, scoring two touchdowns and a safety to squash the Whittier JV's 30- 13. Keeping the momentum rolling, the gridders played Long Beach State JV and walked away with a win to even their season mark at 2-2. The rugged defense led by Bob Maruca, Jack Muecke, Henri Brown, and Tom Kunde held theiropponentsto a single touchdownfor a second week in a row as the team flashed to a comparatively easy win over Cal Tech. Playing the first and probably the last Alumni Pioneer game, the Toreros made three quick first quarter scores stand up as they held off the semi-pro-bolstered alumni unit to win 26-8. As the culmination to a great season the USD eleven played their most inspirational and finest game of the year as Azusa Pacific travelled south to play the host Toreros. The teams fought on even terms most of the afternoon until the combination of Gary Beagin to Matt Maslowski settled the affair. Trailing by six with time running out, the pair teamed for an 80 yard scoring strike to knot the game at 18. As the crowd held its breath Mike Eyer put his toe to the ball for the go ahead point. It re mained however for the defense to seal the win as t hey threw up a goal line stand in the final minute, stopping a Cougar drive at the five. The gun sounded to end the game and a great football year as t he fans streamed onto the field to congratulate their team. (UP THE MIDDLE AND TO A TD) Henri Brown fights his way through Long Beach tacklers. The Toreros ground game was a g reat threat and helped set up a potent air game. (SPINNING WHEEL GOT TO GO ROUND) Defensive back John Ottombrino upends 49er ballcarrier as Ke n Thompson makes sure of no further advance. This is a sport that makes a man's very liver curl with excitement. --Mark Twain Winning isn't everything -– Making the effort to win is . --Coach Jim Gray 148 , -- •• I •• Basketball As the chill of winter and the hush of December fell on the campus, the sneakers began to pound the boards of the gym. The workouts began under a new coach, a new system, and combined new faces with the old. With the season less than a month away Athletic Director Phil Woolpert resigned as head coach. Na tionally known and admired for his knowledge of the game, the man who was most responsible for the rise of the Torero basketball fortunes, justifiably placed his faith in his Assistant Coach, Bernie Bickerstaff. Young, energetic, and confident, Bernie rapidly established a r apport with the players and the students. Taking to the road as t hey would for fifteen of their first seventeen games, they came from behind in their initial outing to beat UC Riverside 100-96. As tourney favorites in the San Diego State Invi tational the Toreros were upset by Tahoe College in the second round and had to settle for fifth place. After splitting their only two home games of 1969, the team successfully defended its Cal Western Tour nament title. The squad handled UC San Diego the opening night 84-73 and overcame host U.S.I.U. the next 60-45. With the coming of the new year the team made its way to Texas for three games. Foul trouble hurt the team, putting the first two games out of reach. A vic tory over Lamar Tech salvaged the trip and sent the Toreros home happy. TOREROS CLOCKWISE: Rick Sabosky, Gie Simpson, John Boone, Jeff Filzenger, Jim Usher, Gus Magee, Sterling Garrett, Bob Scotlan, Oscar Foster, Joe Fogel, John Otis, Neal Schram, Mike Pradels, Steve Bajo. STAFF CLOCKWISE: Trainer Willie Moore, Manager Steve West, Head Coach Bernie Bickerstaff, Manager Joe Brown, Assistant Coach John Cunningham. 152 The quiet university provided little enthusiasm for the travel weary team as they won two of five more away games before the smiles and encouragement of familiar faces greeted them again. The first home game in more than a month brought a hot shooting Aztec team across town. Key buckets in the final minutes for the Aztecs put a damper on the homecoming with State netting the win 70-67. With the season quickly moving along the team had not yet lived up to its forecast potential. The fast break offense and the hustling and alert defense that the young mentor had envisioned for a nationally rated team was realized only on occasion. It was frustrating for the players and the coaches to have an abundance of talent and be so close to greatness and yet miles away at times. Little All American Gus Magee patrolled the pivot for a third record breaking year as h e led the team in scoring and rebounding, grabbing a season high of 24 in beating Cal Poly Pomona. Substituting freely Coach Bickerstaff got help when need ed from all his players. Oscar Foster and Johnny Otis played the wild, gambling style of ball that excites crowds. The big front line controlled the backboards all year with Bob Scot- Ian, Jeff Filzenger, Gie Simpson, and Jim Usher picking up the slack and carrying the momentum when called upon. Mel Arnerich, Neal Schram, and John Boone kept the team running and came up with the hot hand on given nights. Mel scored a season high 33 points against UC San Diego. Senior guard, Neal Schram took charge as the season moved along and sparked some late rallies and hit game winning shots in the clutch. The Torero five put it together in their 10 game home stand as th ey beat some of the top teams on the West Coast. Cal Poly Pomona, San Jose State, Los Angeles State, and UC Riverside fell to the Toreros. Chances for a bid to the College Division Regionals seemed within their grasp. With just two games remaining the hope was shattered as the bid went to UC Riverside, twice defeated by USD. Disappointed and tired they lost the final two games to close at 14-12. The gym is quiet now, and only the memory of the excite ment remains. 153 Floating free as a bird Sixty foot leaps it's so absurd ...

JV Basketball Never a dull moment would best describe the JV basketball season. With just eight players after an early season raid by the varsity, the Circus, as t hey nicknamed themselves, put on a three ring act everytimethey took to the court. Under the ringmastership of John Cunningham, the team had its problems in the early going as t hey won but four of their first twelve games. Practice sessions even became bothersome, as Coach Cunningham found it rather difficult to practice plays and defenses having just four men to a side. February brought life to the squad. The Circus put together three wins in a row and continued to get stronger as t he season progressed. The team showed balance and poise. Six of the Toreritos ave raged in double figures with MVP Skip Laurie leading the way with a 1 6.5 mark, hitting 50% from the field. Bill Greggs was val uable inside averaging 10.1 points to go with a team high of 10 rebounds a game. Rounding out the high scoring front line, Steve Bajo poured in points at a 12.9 clip. Larry Wiggins and John How ard provided stability in the backcourt as t hey controlled the ball, directed the defense, and scored from the outside. As a team, the JV's hit 44% from the field, 71% from the foul line, and averaged nearly 80 points a game. Winning seven of their last ten games, and losing two by just a single point, the JV's capped an 11-11 year by taking the San Diego City Frosh-JV Tournament. The Toreritos victimized U.S. I.U. 54-52 and host UC San D iego 83-63 to take the crown for the second time in three years. USD placed Bill Greggs, John Howard, and Steve Bajo on the all-tourney team, with Bajo taking MVP honors. With the tournament win, the Circus ended its run. FRONT ROW: Mike Bajo, John Howard, Larry Wiggins. SECOND ROW: Coach Cunnigham, Kevin Ruddy, Skip Laurie, Joe Fogel, Bill Greggs, Steve Bajo. Scoreboard 94 68 81 104 89 77 78 93 71 101 U.C.

As the season began to wane, May brought longer and brighter days for the team. Splitting a doubleheader with UC Riverside, downing U.S.I.U., and taking the final game from Chapman College to even the season series with the nations No. 1small college team, the Tore ros had found the winning mold. The squad closed out the year with two games with MCRD. The Toreros blasted the Marines 17-4 on Tues day afternoon. Wednesday was a different story, however, with the Leathernecks taking charge 5-3. Individually the Toreros had extremely impressive sta tistics and self-satisfying years. Steve Davis had another fine year on the mound as d id Gary Myron, who received the Outstanding Pitcher award for the second year in a row. Each player had his moments of greatness during the season and each gained some personal rewards. The Most Valuable Player was team captain and junior catcher John Wathan. John batted .430 with 61 hits, 6 2B's, 7 3B's, 3 HR's, and 39 RBI's. Also to his credit were 24 stolen bases. He set career records for most hits, most doubles, most triples, and most stolen bases. With these credentials John was selected to the College Division All- American second team. The young Toreros fulfilled many of their hopes and left some dreams for the coming years.

The efforts of a tireless tennis coach had brought to gether in the space of two years the people who through trust, love, and skill had the most successful year in the USD sports era. The recruiting of John Pettus, Larry Lupian, and Joe Washington provided just the right mix of personalities and talent to blend with Mike McCulloch, Mike Taylor, John Lopez, and Oscar Rodriguez to form a unified team. Coach Curt Spanis was even thoughtful enough to add a touch of beauty to the raw power of his squad as Teresa Jennings and Marcia McChrystal became the No. 8 and No. 9seeds. From the beginning it was apparent that this was going to be no ordinary year for the Toreros as they handily defeated U.S.I.D. for the first time in the history of the school 7-2. After three relatively easy victories the team lost its only home match of the year asear ly season jitters helped Chapman College to a 5-4 win. A little angry at their blunder the netters crushed four straight opponents 9-0 before giving up a single point. KNEELING: Oscar Rodriguez, Larry Lupian, John Lopez.
