Twenty-four years after Dr. Hughes in– stallment, the University has surpassed all expectations in becoming the prestigious institution that began as merely a vision in 1971. As he hands over the reins to a new president, Dr. Hughes' contributions to the growth and development of USO will for– ever be embedded in the foundations which support this prestigious university. The future is sure to bring many changes as well as the continuation ofUSD's high aca– demic standards, however the traditions Dr. Hughes has made a fundamental part of USO will never die.

From it's birth, USO was the object of high expectations. However it has surpassed even the visions created almost a quarter of a century ago as that potential became a real– ity. USO has earned a solid reputation as an outstanding private institution in Southern California. In 1990 U.S. News and World

Ithough the weather may have been dark and gloomy, the Home– coming spirit was in the air and the festivities continued. Many alumni came back to support their alma mater and once again cheer on the football team. Excitement generated throughout the stands that were specked with blue and white as the crowd waved pompom and banner to rally the team to victory. The
cheerleaders shouted cheers vibrating the stands and pumping up the fans. The Homecoming court shimmered with elegance as USO crowned a new royal court, which had been selected by their peers. It wa impo ible to escape the excitement in the air. The Toreros were pumped and hungry for a victory. Their desire to win showed in their playing as the Torero's silenced the Evansville Purple Aces with a 28-16 victory.

"The Grill needed a persoriality, and USO need~d a place to celebrate traditions." - Tom Cos rove, Associate Dean
On October 11, 1994 the Grille was re– opened with a minor face lift. As it's name suggests, the new dining area "Traditions" celebrates just that- the traditions of USD. According to Terry Whitcomb who engi– neered the changes, "We thought about unique traditions...continuing traditions that are unique to USD.'' When the doors were opened at Traditions, students were met by new colors, banners, new furni– ture, and displays of USD memorabilia celebrating the traditions andhistory of USD. Left: Tom Cosgrove, Susan Payment, and Terry Whitcomb smile proudly in front of Traditions on its grand opening as their vision became transformed into a reality.

radition is a word most will be more than familiar with when we are handed our di– plomas and enter the "real world" of adulthood-from a life ofrelative freedom living off of Mom and Dad, to an
entirely different one filled with adult obligations and the responsi– bility of making our own living. College is an experiencewe will look back upon fondly as a time of fun - "The best days of our lives." It's a time of parties, friends, first apart– ments, cramming for tests, and through it all learning lessons and responsibility an·d acquiring knowl– edge to prepare us for our lives be– yond USO. From the day we entered USO as frightened and excited freshmen, to the day we leave, the memories we made and shared will never be for– gotten. Whenwe look back in twenty years to what once was, memories will be all that's left of the times we shared, but our traditions will for– ever be embedded in the framework of USO, as we came, made our mark at USO, and now are ready to move on to place our mark on the rest of the world. Our senior year was in part spent fulfilling our academic careers, but mostly riding out the crest of the wave of our college experience, fi– nally breaking upon the shore with the sound of "Pomp and Circum– stance."
