ft)~~~ d/t?/7< CAROUSEL: We've got lots of aspiring movie moguls. Figi-Wil- son's upcoming Canned Film Festival has so far drawn 23 amateur filmmakers. And they've had to relocate next month's public screening to han- dle the hordes. Over 500 have reserved seats, so they'll hold it at USD's Camino Theatre. The money goes to Cerebral Palsy.. .. And Cerebral Palsy has lots of attention. Two hundred San Diego barbers and beauticians have pledged their first fee of each day this week to the charity.... Anonymous quote for the season: "The major difference between death and taxes 1s that death is frequently painless." ... Things aren't really as bad as they sometimes seem in the banking busmess. The loan officers at Security Pacific's Genesee and Balboa branch are wearing over- alls and jeans. But it's just part of a promotion for home-im- provement loans.

USO invites Ford to graduation Although final confirmation is awaited from 1he White House, it is expected that President Gerald Ford will attend commencement ceremonies for the University of San Diego on May 25. The school plans to bestow honorary degrees on three people, President Ford, singer Vikki Carr and Prince Sattam Al-Saud of Saudi Arabia. a I 96S USD graduate. Ceremonies will be held at the ivic Theatre in the Charles Dail Community Concourse. USD President Author E. Hughes said this week that Miss Carr (Florencia Bisenta de Casilla Martinez Cardona), who has accepted the invitation, will receive an honorary doctor of laws degree for her work for Mexican-American students and institutions. She established the Vikki Carr Scholarship Foundation in 1970, supported almost entirely by her earnings as a performer. More than 50 awards have been made to students attending colleges across the nation. lt is understood that President Ford was invited before he became president, and his acceptance is subject to the demands of state. The last White House connection with USD graduation was when the then Vice President Richard Nixon was awarded an honorary degree in 1959. He unveiled the foundation stone for the Hall of Sciences building, now Serra Hall.

SELLOUT AUDIENCE S.F. Mayor, Bue I y Hold Debate Here By O'JTO KREISHER Politics Writer The San Diego Union The Democratic party is the best hope for the future because it is better able to adjust. to the changes in our society, San Francisco Mayor Joseph Alioto, a Demo- crat, argued last night. ~ut, conservative Republican columnist Wilham F. Buckley replied, because they cultivate and live off certain "myths and superstitions," the Democrats tend to dis- credit self government. The two men exchanged views, wit and gentlemanly barbs in a semi-formal de- bate before 1,200 persons in a sold-out Camino Theater at University of San Diego. The issue was: "The Democratic party offers the best hope for the future," but it was more a contest between two recog- nized verbal masters. Opening the debate, Alioto said the Dem- ocrats do offer the best hope for the future because they "are better able to absorb whatever changes are necessitated by so- cial changes." The two-term mayor listed some of the abuses of minorities that have existed in California's past, which have been correct- ed by changes in government. Clamor For Change New forces are emerging that clamor for changes, 'Alioto said, and if provisions are not made for absorbing those demands they could become a threat to the nation. Alioto also warned about the dangers of monopolies that exist both in the interna- tional oil cartels and in major industries in the United States. Those monopolies foster inflation, he said. "If you believe in the free enterprise system, you've got to believe that competi- live commodities have to be allowed to compete on their merits," he said. "Democrats are more conservative than Republicans," Alioto said, in that they are more willing to enforce the anti-trust laws. Although national anti-trust laws were created under Republican administra- tions, Alioto said, "The Republicans are too .locked in" to the leadership of big business to be effective in the anti-trust field now. Buckley said that his "essential criti- cism of the Democratic party is that it operates on the basis of deeply cultivated frauds." Dominate Labor Unions While holding themselves out to be the friend of the "little people, the friend of those who are persecuted," he said, the Democratic-dominated labor unions in New York and elsewhere frequently bar minorities from some crafts. And, while Alioto railed against the evils of ~onopoly busin!!ss, Buckley said, "no senous Democrat has proposed, and no serious Democrat will propose exercising the anti-trust laws against the labor unions." But the unions can completely shut down the flow of certain goods or cut off a service, which the business monopo- lies cannot, he said. Among the "myths and superstitl perpetuated by the Democrats, Buckley said, is the "myth of the spontaneously created dollar" that comes from Washing- ton.

"Another million dollars would enable us to refinance at lower interest rates several apartment units recently acquired to help our student housing shortage. The remaining funds will be used for financing new im- provement projects.'' "USD's physical plant is now 25 years old and needs a great deal of recon- struction and rehabilitation to retain the beauty of the campus. These bonds would accelerate our program three to four years," Boyce said.

Dr. Author E. Hughes, president of the University of San Diego, has an- nounced that USO has applied for approval to sell $3.275 million ip state- issued, tax • exempt bonds in a major refinancing • construction proposal. "The California Educational Facilities Authority (CEFAJ under state law can grant a private college or university permission to sell tax exempt bonds. '"With the tax advantage, it is expected that the bonds can be sold for between 6 - 3/ 4 and 7 - 1/ 2 per cent interest, which is sub· stantially lower than current commercial rates," Hughes said. USO vice - president for financial affairs Jack Boyce said that "If the application is approved by CEFA, USO will refinance $1 million of completed improvement projects such as the Law Library, the remodeling of the Copley Library and the renovation of classrooms.

Law link departs Professor "Joe" Brock the University of San Diego law school, after many years of helping to shape its style and philosophy. He is probably one of the last strong "Catholic" links in a school which, like the University itself, has a vital part to play in Catholic witness Like most law schools on Catholic university campuses, the religious aspects of their antece- dents unfortunately play a smaller and smaller part in their philosophy and operation. If ever a profession needed to look to basic moralities and teaching, the legal profession does, judged on its current image and on the tremendous need for examples of integrity in political and professional life generally. l-lnlv w.,.,1, 2 t J 1).

PRELIMI .ARY EVE!\'T: Bill Buckley and Joe Alioto raised few sparks in theu- debate at USD. It was a fnskier sparring match over dinner at the home of USD Pres. Author Hughes, when Huckley grilled :\fayor Pete Wil- s?n on his stand against arbitra- tion for public employes. Wilson, no mean debater himself drew at least a tie Burkley later re- vealed h1 fluent wit in panish in a chat with our city's George Gildred (Ten lectures a year would be enough, Buckley said, but he doc four times that num- ber to offset losses of his ational Review.)
