One thing that's been consistent from the beginning has been the steady play or Washington, the heady, steady guard. T~e senior from Washington, O.C., is averaging 19 points a game and probably is the top college player in San Diego. But because he pla)S at the small- college level he has received iiltle attention from the area media. Wasiungton could have been a big· timer As a prep hr. was recruited by surh srhools as Marquette, Detroit and Loyola of Chicago. But he chose mstead to join ex-Torero roach B rnie Bickerstaff in San Diego. ' I thought I could learn more at a smaller school," Washington said, "and the small-college teams aren't gC'ared quite so murh to the big, dom111attng cente, s.

"Here, they don't even know we're alive except when we've got a winn- ing streak going And the city doesn't care much about us even when we're winning." Still, Washington said, he's learned a lot here. "I've grown up " he said. "When you're 3,000 miles from home you can't run back ever} lime things go bad for you." He's learnecr to focus his life around basketball. Tllat is why he says the jury stJIJ is out on hi decision to come to Caiiforrua. "I won't know if it was worth it until the end of the year, until the pro basketball draft," he said. • If somebody drafts me, if somebody recognizes my ability b) p1r•king me, I'll know 1 did the r!ght thmg. If they don't I guess I'll always wonder "I'm the only one in my family who's ever even been to col11•ge," he said. "f won't disappoint them by not graduating.

Dick Logan, 35-year-old assistant coach at San Fran- cisco State University, was handed the reins tossed aside late in December bv Andy Vinci after a two-year record of 15•-'>-2. At the same time yester- day, lJSD President Dr. Author Hughes made a statement in which he em- phasized that football at lSO would remain on the NCAA Division III level on which it operated last sea- son It was announced the school 's other lntercollegiate sports programs, namely baseball, basketball, tennis and golf. would contmue to perform in Division II, the chief difference being that fmanrial aid under O•vision lII rules has to be granted on a basis of need as laid down by the "1CAA guidelines. rt was the desire to contin• ue upgrading the football program into a higher dil'i- sion and the univers1tv 's feeling that it could not ·af- ford such a move that led to Vinci 's departure to the head coaching job at Cal Polv of Pomona ·

Tom Burke, dean of stu- dents at USD and adminis· trator or the football finan- cial aid program, suggested that there arc other monies available for the football program from community support, other typ<'s of scho- larships and other sources in addition to the $.10,000. "We have not changed our dirrclion of a balanced pro- gram in athletics, physical educaLion and r!'creal!on " Dr. Hughes insisted. ,', I stated last spring that we were including football as part or our intercollegiate program, but that it has to be consistent with the size and scope or the university "The la t f wmonths have produced a t of difference or opinion as to just what this means. I sincerely hope we have been able to dear up the situation today. • Ask1•d if thPre had ever bC"Pn any discus -ion or con- sideration of dropping foot- ball at USO, Dr. Hughes rrpiled tersely, ":\'ot by me!" The USD president also , aid hP C'OnsidC'rs the 3,500- seat tJSD Stadium an ample facility for the presPnt pro- gram. "We did not have any turn-away crowds last sea son," hr pointed out, "and our football program did not lose any money " Dr. Hughes indicated he is not against any future up• grading of the grid program, but that the first priority must be that it is financially feasabie. lie also stressed that community support must continue to be a most important item in determin- mg the scope or futurr pro- grams. Logan indicated he is more than happy to operate within the level of football dictated by the D_ivision m status. "I fully realize that a football program's cost is much greater than that or othPr sports," he said. "It makes absolutely no iffcr- encc to me that the ther athletic programs here at lS[) are condu!'tPd on the Division II level." Logan has b!'en the offen- sive .:oordinator and junior

Dr. Hughes admitted, "Andy Vinci not only wanted to move up to a Division II status, but even to Division I. It is definitely a matter of finances that prevents our competmg above D1v1swn Ill in football sinr" its cost is far greater than that of our other sports programs." Dr. Hughes revealed the Toreros operate on a limit of $30,000 annuaU1· for financial aid in football' based on the studen• s need Tuition, room and board was pegged at approximate- ly $3,200 per student but ,t was pointed out that th!;.' a ,d granted m football 1s not or th" "full ride" variety of scholarships given in both basketball and trnnis at

"Andy said, well, I want to play beyond that point. He was saying, you are moving al a pace more slowly than r want to move. That kind of spelled out for him what he had to do." What the school has to do is pass the hat to finance ,ts estimated $250,000 budget for athletics and rec- n•at1on. Tile cost previously was borne by the university but addition of football increased it beyond the institution's financial means. "The university is able to support about $170,000," said Hughes. "1n addition there 1s income from rent- ing our facilities, ticket sales (ap- proximately $10,000), concessions and parking. Clearly, if we don't get hf'lp from a support group, a booster group, we don't exist. We can't af- ford to finance the program we have going now by ourselves." The course plotted by Hughes will take USD's teams through the next few years but It is not a straight line to infinity. As time goes by, it could go up - or down. " The whole spectrum could change," said Hughes. "Tllere could b<' a day when we would drop foot- ball. There could be a day when we would be Di vision I. "What we're doing, we're saying we want to proceed sensibly, along an avenue that is best for the univer- sity Certainly I have nothing against changing upwards or downwards as the reasons and argu- ments present themselves." "You should be succ sful at one level before you jump to the next," said Brovelli. "If we are successful in Division II year in and year out, then I think we would consider the next step.
