SUMMER SEMESTER

Sounds of Summer by Barbara Walsh

The sounds of summer gently float– ed through the campus as spring semester came to a close. The hal– lowed halls no longer echoed the voices and footsteps of harried stu– dents. Office pressures eased; park– ing spaces became ample-it would be another peaceful summer. Suddenly desks shook and nerves jangled as jackhammers rat-a-tat-tat– ed and ditch diggers grinded endless– ly. Steel girders lifted by cranes domi– nated the skyline, mountains of pipes waiting installation consumed va lu– able parking spaces, and Marian Way turned into a disaster area over night. What had happened to USD's sum– mer serenity? My assignment was to get to the bottom of this disturbing dilemma and report the facts to the suffering victims. Here's the scoop... The tearing up of Marian Way was necessitated in order to upgrade the campus electrical power distribution system. When completed, the sys– tem will relieve electrical overload– ing in existing buildings and allow expansion of computer terminals, telephone circuits and closed circuit television. The system will also pro– vide needed power for major build– ing additions-Copley Library ex– pansion, School of Business Confer– ence Center, and Student Center. Within six months, construction crews will congregate just west of Copley Library to break ground for the library addition. This free-stand– ing building, with its connecting hall– way to the existing library, will pro– vide much needed seating and stack space.

N ROTC personnel and students in– volved in the program initiating this fall will be housed on the first floor. Filling the remaining spaces will be faculty offices and Law School insti– tutes. To ease the predicted parking squeeze, 128 additional spaces are being prepared behind Serra Hall and the Law School. The parkrng lot, with a designated area for compact cars, is being landscaped to blend with the surrounding beauty of the campus. Well, that's the scoop...the sounds of summer at USO have become the noises of progress. It's inconvenient, it's nerve-racking-but take heart, campus community, the results are all for YOU!

Pending the finalization of fund– ing, a new School of Business struc– ture and a Conference Center will rise on the grounds west of the School of Nursing. The long-desired Student Center is designated for an area east of DeSales Hall. The steel girders seen peeking a– bove the facade between Serra Hall and the Law School make up the framing of Guadalupe Hall, the name voted upon by the University Board ofTrustees for the two-story building currently under construction. An art form representing Our Lady of Gua– dalupe, patroness of the Diocese of San Diego and the national patron– ess for Mexico, will grace the wall in front of the new builging. Occupan– cy by September is the hope of Uni– versity Relations staff members.

1979 was a good yea r fo r USO be– ca use that was th e year Flo rence Johnso n decided that she need ed a change in her life. That change even– tuall y led her to USO. As secre tary to Dea n Pu sa teri in th e depa rtment of Arts and Sciences, Florence fe els that she is part of th e USO family. As a hi gh school stud ent Florence discovered that sh e had a love for lan guage. It was th ere that she bega n her study of French and German. In college she added Russi an and Span– ish to her list of languages. In addi – tion to th e five lan guages which she speaks fluently, Florence has studi ed both Latin and Chinese. Aft er comp leting her degree Fl o r– ence began a career in se condary education, t eaching and administer– ing fo reign language programs in New York and Massachus ett s.

"Question: What will you be doing this summer?"

by Sandra Ed elman " O n Go lden Pond." W hy, yo u are no clouh l ask ing, would anyone rev iew a film released mo re than a yea r ago, one w hich- th anks lo its almost archetypa l appea l- has al rea dy been entered, a– long w ith " Orphans of the Storm," "Crapes of Wra th," et. al., in t he anna ls of th e C rea l Ame ri ca n Class ics. If you 've manage d to fo llow me to the end of th at ~cn tencc and are still as king, here's my answe r: beca use "On Co lden Po nd" has some thin g wro ng wi t h it, and as far as I know, no o ne has had the cheek to say so. Tru e, Hepburn and Fo nda are, in tan– dem and ind ividually, a loveab le m ix o f cru st and sentiment. Tru e, Jane fin ally found a ro le the demand s of w hi ch co incide w ith her trainin g in th e W eye r– haeuse r M ethod (two-ply mahogany) . Tru e, the photograp hy is superb . Th e d irec t ion and edit in g are fair to midd li ng. And, yes, even th e loon s are simu ltane– ously po ignant and lu sty. So w hat' s wro ng, yo u as k? W ell, in its own convo luted way, "On Go /den Pond," wh eth er as fi Im o r stage p lay, isas mu ch an insult to o ld age as retirement home abuse- it's j ust th at th e in su lt is hard e r to see. Th ompso n (th e play– wr ight) too k two charac ters o f int elli– gence and di gnity and mad e th em by turn s fey, cut e, p rec io us, se nil e, o r smu g– ly unreason ab le, and t hen p laye d th em fo r laughs. " He re are th e o ld Thaye rs, aren' t th ey cute? See how funn y it is fo r an o ld lady to dance in t he woods?for an o ld man to cu t out in hi s Chri sC raft? " In o th e r wo rd s, isn't it at bottom amusing to see th e elderl y dec lin e, and eve n mo re amu sing to see th em, from tim e to tim e, behave like rea l, no rmal (i .e., und er 65) human be ings? Hidd en in all th is adm itt ed ly good th ea tre is th e p remise that to be aged o r aging is to be inferi o r. At a tim e w hen w e are slow ly rec t ifying o ur m ispe rcep ti ons abo ut se ni o r citi ze nshi p, t he kin d of treac ly disguise thi s ve hi cle wears- like an execut ione r in a clown su it-goes shoc kingly again st th e gra in .
