Life Around Campus

Life on campus can get quite mo– notonous. Between going to class, do– ing homework, and eating at the UC, students tend to get in ruts. By the second week of school, classes are boring, homework is stupid, the food in the UC is absolutely disgusting, and it's sunny at the beach. Studying is useless, so the library becomes a home for the tired to snooze. For recreation, volleyball, hac-e– sac, and frisbee are played all year round. And of course surfing goes without saying. Students need an active imagina– tion to come up with things to do. Some ideas are: collect quarters for laundry, actually do laundry, buy crayons and coloring books and re– gress back to the care-free days, or perhaps clean the room!

HANGOUTS A favorite pastime of USO stu– dents is getting off campus, especially for food and/or 'beverages'. Everyone needs to escape the UC food service once and awhile. For those poor souls under 21 , local hangouts involve tasty (and cheap) munchies. Roberto's, Denny's, and 7-11 are the greatest be– cause they never close and chow ses– sions can go on for 24 hours a day, that's a main contributor to " Freshman 15". For the special 21 and over crowd, the fun does not stop unless the cash flow does. Food now takes a back seat, and drinking and dancing on this side of the border take over. San Diego has countless hot spots to quench your thirst and let you party the night away with other great looking party animals.

Academics At USD

No one likes to admit that college is a place to - - Study ? It seems like every– one forgets that until the weekend before finals. USO students are masters in the art of unique studying (a.k.a. cramming). All nighters are famous, as are 2 a.m. runs to 7-11 and Denny's. Over that week stu– dents consume more Jolt and No-Doz than 7-11 can keep in stock. The USO ad– ministration attempts to enforce the "24- hour quiet hours", but let's be serious - there's no way to keep all those wired stu– dents quiet! The latest study revealed that 98% of the undergrad student body at USO is majoring in procrastination. Many amazing students are also double minor– ing in watching television and partying. On the whole, it can be easily concluded that USO is the most academically oriented school in Alcala Park.

R.A.'s

Being an RA usually seems to put a person in tough position. The stu– dent who is an RA has to remember the responsibility that they hold, while they also have friends who live by them. Often, unfortunately, these two things can conflict and cause tension between the RA and their residents. Thus it takes a special kind of person to be an RA. An RA must be able to balance both of these relationships, and must be responsible while still be– ing able to have fun. Most RA's are able to accept this challenge and are able to use this as an learning experi– ence. Being an RA is a big time com– mitment, and being an RA causes most people to balance their time more effectively. Despite all of this, most love their job. It is a great way to meet new people, and it is also inter– esting to watch people learn how to live with each other. Being an RA gives students the satisfaction of helping others, and also lets them have a taste of responsibility.

Top: Caring for plants is one way residents make dorm life in C/ F more like home. Above: Camino serves as both a residence and a classroom.

Dear Mom and Dad,

School is going well and dorm life in Camino/Founders is not as bad as everyone said it would be. My worries about my roomie are settled, she's great. Somehow, I'm surviving without the TV and VCR, fully stocked refriger– ator, bathtub, and cozy bed. But I do miss the dog! My domestic skills are improving too. So far I haven't ruined any clothes, pretty amazing. The RA's are nice, but strict, sometimes it feels like • a prison. Especially since there are armed security guards on duty all night and members of the opposite sex must check in and be out by midnight. Give me a break, this is worse than home!! The best part of living In these dorms is having my friends so close. We can visit one another any time all night long. This helps on those nights when I miss home. I miss you, but I love USO. See you at Thanksgiving! Send money and cookies soonl

DESALES HALL

Freshman guys living in De– Sales Hall have it made. Who could ask for more than being surrounded by posters of gor– geous girls wearing skimpy biki– nis, week-old NYPD pizza box– es, a pile of crushed Coors cans, and Van Halen playing until 1:00am? The only thing missing is a mom to cook and clean for them. They easily adjust to sharing a room and bathroom with their roommates, who soon become their close friends. Their room– mates become someone to ask

advice about how to do the laundry - one capful of Cheer? And is it possible to wash white boxers with a new red sweat– shirt? Even though DeSales has the reputation of being the party hall and it is so loud that it isn't pos– sible to study, it is a great place for the freshman guys to adjust to life away from home. When the homework is eventually , completed, all DeSales resi– dents have to worry about is drowning dirty laundry or where the next party is.

On Campus Apartments

A kitchen is the prize for winning the housing lottery at USO. There are three different apartment units: Knolls, Bahias and the new Alcala Vistas. All three units have a pool in the near vacinity and are known for all night games of "Marco Polo". The latest housing addition to USO is located up near the Sports Center, Alcala Vistas. They follow the similar architecture as the main campus and are three stories high. The increasing trend in scoot– ers could be attributed to the walk. Once a student gets an apartment, the meal plan is history! Those lucky peo– ple!

Trends

Trends here on the hill have a mind of their own and definately do not follow the Catholic stereotype. This years rage would have to be tie– dye. Venders are always in front of the UC, or if you're creative you can make them yourself. Reggae is still crankin'. Intact there is now a Club Reggae on campus. Guys are letting their hair grow, and grow. The longer the better. The girls love it, especially because now guys can relate to that "in-between stage." Skateboards are still popular modes of transportation, but other vehicles are moving in. For those looking for a work out, cycling up Marion Way is it. For the lazy - scooters. For those willing to chal– lenge the parking, it looks like conver– tables are it. From Cabriolets (especially white) to Suzuki Samurais to BMW, they are every where you look!!

What's News Have you ever thought that the news of today will become the history our chil– dren will study? Daytime TV was brought to a stand still while the Contra Scandal went to trial. Colonel Oliver North became an over night hero to millions of Americans and soon "Ollie" memorabilia soon invades the stores. Fawn Hall also benefited from the scandal and went on to become D.C. 's sex symbol, known especially for her amazing ability of shedding paper. Outselling Contra souvenirs, would have to be the "I ran into Tammy Faye's face at the mall" T-shirts. Jim and Tammy Bakker become the controversial PTL couple. While Jerry Fallwell tried to cover up the sex scandal, Jim and Tammy plead– ed to the God-fearing Christians to help them financially through this time of need. They need the money for upkeep on their many homes, cars, jacuzzies and the ca– tering of the ragers. On a more serious note, the world felt the pain and worry for tiny Jessica McClure. Back in October, the 18 month old baby fell over 20 feet down a well. For more than two days, the courageous infant survived with out warm clothes, food, wa– ter or parents. Finance was a disaster. The Crash of '87 sent stock markets around the world plummeting to record losses. On October 26, Black Monday, the Dow Jones indus– trial average dropped 22.6%, which is much worse than 1929. There was finally a small step toward disarmament at the summit between Ron– ald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev. Doesn't everyone wish Gary Hart would make up his mind? First he's run– ning, then he drops out because of the Donna Rice scandal, and at press time he's back in! He claims his personal life is of no relevance to his campaign. Since Donna's "No Excuses" jeans failed miser– able, as is Hart's campaign, maybe the two should collaborate again and great the "No Comment" fashionwear.

This fall the Minnesota Twins took the World Series over the St. Louis Cardinals. The movie of the year, at press time, has to be "Fatal Attraction." This sus– pence thriller starring Michael Douglas and Glenn Close taught us all a bit about being faithful. On that note of "faith" and " monogamy," it looks like George Michael has survived on his own. Will Maddie and Dave ever be happy on " Moonlighting" and will we ever see a new episode? The hit show taking over is "LA Law." But the two crucial questions of the year have to be: "Will Madonna and Sean ever get divorced?" and " Are Micheal and Janet one in the same?"

The U.C.

The University Center, or the UC as many students call it, is the center of life at USO. The UC offers a variety of services to USO students and facul– ty. Located at the main entrance, the Information Desk provides informa– tion for all campus events and the tick– et booth sells tickets to on and off– campus functions. Also on the main floor of the UC, the forum holds con– certs, dances receptions and meet– ings for all occasions. Along with offering those ser– vices, the UC hasmany lounges on the lower level for a variety of activities. The main lounge provides students with a place to socialize, watch televi– sion or listen to music. For fun stu– dents have use of the Game Room to play video games, pool or table tennis. The quiet study lounge allows stu– dents to be undisturbed while they read or study. The UC also functions as a dining hall for students and faculty. There is a wide variety of eating spots to choose from. The Grille is the home of fried foods and pizza. The Deli has sandwiches, salad bar and soup. The Cafeteria is always a mysterious sur– prise. Along with offering a place to eat, the UC houses offices for campus publications, student organizations and clubs. Because the UC serves all the functions and offers many services to students and faculty it has become the heart of USO campus life.

Wednesday has one bad feature - math placement testing. However, after a grueling hour of brain strain, students have several options. First, the front of the UC is crowded with clubs. It gives students achance to get involved and find out what USO has to offer. Afterwards, the MBAC has free equipment to all. Students could try their hand at windsurfing, jet skiing, or tanning. That night, the USO dining service offers a feast of roast pig served at a very tropical luau. The en– tertainment was Deborah Cooper, a fantastic hypnotist. She embarasses freshmen for life.

Homecoming Homecoming 87 took on a new twist. For the most part of the game, float parade, and other main events main– tained tradition; however, the dance, for the first time ever, was held on campus and included both the current stu– dents and alumni. Saturday morning, November 14, began with a 10k run for the fit and 'Fun Run' for the others. After, hundreds of people filled the U.S.D. stadium to watch the mighty Torrer– os in action. The game began with a farewell to all Senior players and their parents. With the sound of the first gun, the torreros were off to prove their strength and energy. ' Unfortunately, it didn't hold out through the second half and the final score was 17 to 16 in favor of Menlo College.

Volleyball Tournament

On October 18, 1987, Phi Kappa Theta Fraternity held the First Annual Inter-Sorority Volleyball Invitational. The Event was held on the sand courts in Ocean Beach, and was at– tended by sororities from the campuses of USO, UCSD, and SDSU. According to event chairman, John Pentelei-Molnar, "This was the first time that anything of this nature had been done to bring the three Greek systems together for some fun and competition. And I believe that we were successful in doing so." The event was somewhat hampered by poor weather, but it did little to dampen the spirits of the ten sorority teams that staged a hard fought battle for the right to take home the laurels of victory. Ultimately, it was the team of Pi Beta Phi Sorority from UCSD who • emerged victorious. In addition to receiving a large trophy, each team member received a complete outfit provided generously by SPANKERS Beachwear. The tournament also received generous support from Coca-Cola and TOGO's.

Assoc iated Students Student government on the U.S.D. campus comes to us each year in the form of the "Associated Students". Associated Students is the collection of several hard working Councils, Boards, and Committees consisting of elected and appointed representa– tives. The first of these groups being the Student Senate. The Senate made up entirely of elected positions, serves as the focal point of student opinion. Its responsibilities range from represent– ing student views to the administration to making appointments to the various committees. The Executive Board of the A.S. is the core to the management of the stu– dent government. Its members include the President, Vice President, Sec. of Finance, Sec. of Student Organiza– tions, Sec. of Justice, Sec. of Student Services, and Social Chairman. Its main responsibility is to provide guid– ance to all programers and to provide general directions to where the student body should go. The Program Board is the "activity" side of the A.S. Its respons– ible tor programing academic, cultural, and social activities. Successes this past year include: Homecoming, Sim– ply Red concert, and the First Annual USO Bike Race. The largest representative group in A.S. is the Inter-Club Council, which is made up of one representative from each club and organization on campus. Currently there are 55 such groups. These groups range from fraternities to academic clubs to cultural clubs. I.C.C. provides a forum in which organiza– tions can discuss issues concerning them as well as provide a network for programing information. The Budget Committee is respons– ible for the financial success of the A.S. as it monitors all expenditures. This committee is vital because the success of any organization depends on the successful management of its finances. Last but certainly not least is the Student Court. Its responsible for hear– ing those "millions" of appeals for traf– fic violations to disciplining violators of A.S. policies. This past year have made A.S. a success. Unfortunately many of their names will go unmentioned, but all have been dedicated to "keeping the spirit strong".
