By HOMER CLA!IICE Ed Ostermeyer o{ El CaJon ls a quiet, udious young m who 1s out to set scholastic rec:o at the Uni- versity of San Diego. Ostermeyer, 2!. a senior, has only to maintAin his cur- rent 11.8 grade-level to grad- uate summa cum laude in June He is currently at the head of his class. Ed the son of Mr. and Mrs. K. D. Ostermeyer of 1114 Evilo St., El Cajon, will be the first with a double major to graduate from USO. RESIDENT SINCE 19:i6 He is one of l, 124 college senior who have been named Woodrow Wilson National Fel- lowship Designates. The design lion mean's the fello',Vship foundation recom- mend;; that he is "worthy of financi~I sllpport in graduate school." It also means that he is among the best future .college- teacher prospects in the Unit- ed States and Canada.

A resident of the area since 1936, Ed was placed in the gifted student program when it was started on an exper- • imental basis in junior high school in El Cajon. He was valedictorian of his senior class at El Cajon Val- ley High School, achieving a 4.0 grade, the highest pos- sible. "We had triple valedictori- ans that year (1964)," he recalled. "Two others in the same class also had 4.0 grades." Ed was active in student government in high school, was director of school arts, and a director of the Latin Club. PLANS TO CONTINUE ' He IS a life member of the California Scholarship Feder- ation but said he did not try for a National Merit Scholar- ship. "I selected USD because I wanted to stay in the San Diego 11.rea; it was a small

private had strong programs in Latin and the humanities," he said. Ed is interested in both fields-he is majoring in Latin and classical history - and plans to continue his studies, then become a college teach- er. Since he entered college Ed has averaged between 18 and 21 units each semester, and also bas attended summer school. The minimum units each semester is 12, while the av- erage is about 15 in most colleges In addition to Latin and his- tory, Ed is studying archaeol- ogy, philosophy, Spanish and French, among others. The archaeological field has led him to much research into documents, diaries and manuscripts up and down Cal- ifornia in connection with the missions established by Father Junipero Serra. Ed has also participated in excavation work being con- ducted at Mission San Diego de Alcala. OFFERS RECEIVED The young man said he ap- pled for graduate scholarships at several universities but has been •"getting offers from chools where I did not ap- ply," due to ,his designation by the Fellowship foundation. from among 11,600 students in the United States and Canada no- minated by members of the academic profession. He served as vice president of the Associated Student Body at USO in his junior year and is curently pres- ident. TO DECIDE LATER He said he probably will not decide until April where he will ccntinue his studies after graduation.

"What do the Australlans have that makes them so con- spicuously more successful than U.S. players?" the lady coach was asked. "Our players are better ed· ucated than the others, and I'm proud of them," she re- plied." The Australians quit school when they're 15 or 16 to devote all their time to tennis and their Jack of e u- cation shows when you talk to them." , Dotty, now doing graduate study in English, Spanish and French at the University of San Diego, got her first de- gree at University of Califor- nia at Berkeley and was a pupil of tennis pro Tom Stow for some 10 years - the same Stow who helped develop the great Don Budge backhand.

Many students browsed and sampled the informa- tion of one of the tables and then provided some friendly competition by walking over to talk to the other representa- tives. Both the Marines and the Peace Corps officials noted that they enjoyed the friendly viralry. Work continues on the University's first jointly produced yearbook.
