Prosperity Cited For Composers

The University of San Diego opens its 1974-75 bas- ketball season tonight when Pomt Loma C:ollege comes calling at 7: 30 p.m. It is also the home, or San Diego, opener for the . Crusaders, who opened the season by dropping two of three games on a swing through Oklahoma last weekend. Torero coach Jim Brovelli beginning his second year'. said the Crusaders' three- game edge in experience was a big factor. . "What we nPed right now 1s the same thing most teams need," he said. "We nPed to get a game under our belts." Crusader coach Ben Fos- ter felt the same way before the jaunt to Oklahoma, and he cleared the bench in two games, both losses, at Bethany College, and a vic- tory Monday night at Okla- homa College of Liberal Arts at Chickasha. Brovelli will start 6-10 Neil Traub at center, 6-7 Allan Jones and 6-4 Kenny Smith at forwards, and Joe De- maestri and Jim Ferguson at guards. "Our front linP is very solid," Brovelli said. "They all have good height, and Smith and Jones are very quirk forwards." • Traub, Smith and De- maestri are lettermen. Jones is a senior transfer from Pepperdme, where he scored in double figures for three seasons. ~·erguson is a redshirt who is showing signs of replacing th1• floor leadership lost with the graduation of all-American guard Stan Washington. Pomt Loma 1s led bv four- year starter Rirk :\1 ·rncoat and fellow guards Jack Wil- son, Tom Shaw, Mike Huff, and Don Schengel, post Ron Owens and forwards Steve I<'oster and Bruce McCor- mack.

Hughes also said that while USD no longer re- ceives funds from the church, forcing an increase in tuition - from $1,200 a year m 1968, to $2,100 in 1974 - the university still stress- es its Catholic founding. Homecoming activities this weekend focused on the university's 25th birthday USD's charter was signed in 1949 and classes started in February, 1952, on a 200-acre site at the west end of Kear- ny Mesa. It was known then as the San Diego College for Women, with 33 students at- tending the first classes. The first graduation awarded di- plomas to three. early 500 persons attend- ed the alumm homecoming dance last night at the Hilton Inn on Mission Bay and fes- tivities end today with a spe- cial alumni Mass at 9a.m. in the Jmmaculata on the USD campus.

The Umversity of San Diego is alive and well and its lulUrt' looks bright, Dr Author Hughes, USO presi- dent, said yesterday. Speaking to 50 USD alumni leaders at a homecoming luncheon in De Sales Hall on the campus, Hughes said that while many private col- leges appear on the verge of closing their doors, USO is experiencing some encour- aging signs. Enrollment is climbing, Hughe pointed out. He said 2,836 students attend classes ,n the Alcala Park campus 1 his semester - an 18 per 1 ·ent increase from last year. Hughes said increased en- r,ollment will be the key for t.he 25-year-old Catholic col- l! ,ge and its future. Without financial support fr m the church, Hughes said, times ahead will be diificult but he voiced opti- mism "We plan to expand and ennch our curriculum," he said. "And, we hope that by 1985" between 3,500 and 4,000 students will be attending USO" He said those figure a targeted to ward off increas- mg costs of running the uni-

Thomas promise to offer the Toreros the most trou- ble. Nelson has completed 93 passes for 1,404 yards and 10 touchdowns, while Thomas h~s 23 receptions for 532 yards and seven TDs.

University of San Diego's football team will close out its home schedule tomor- row when it entertains St. Mary's College at }-:30. It will be the Toreros' homecoming game. They have one more contest - Nov. 23 at UC-Riverside. USD is 2-7 for the season and is coming back after taking a 29-0 lacing from U.S. International Universi- ty last week. "I think we have a good chance to wind up our home season with a victory," USO coach Dick Logan said. In the series between the teams, St. Mary's has a 2-1 edge. The Gaels won in 1969 and '70 but were trounced, 46-0, by a potent USD team last year. Logan plans to throw a two-quarterback offense at the visitors. That means Mike Spooner and Ruben Elizalde will divide the sig- nal-calling duties. Their fa- vorite receivers have been Robert Clark, 36 catches for 600 yards; Joe Amidon, 21 for 262, and Dan Black, 13 for 249. In the rushing depart- ment, USO is led by fresh- man tailback Steve Good- body 105 carries for 406 yards. The Gaels' combination of quarterback Randy Nel- son and flanker James

American composers are better orr now than at any time m hi tory, Aaron Cop- land, who is often called the dran or American compos- ers said here yesterday. Copland was in San Diego to take part m a sympo:;ium at the University of San O1ego "They (American compos- ers) receive more perfor- mances or their musir han in past limes, and •uro- pea ns, who have al ays compar ct us to Bt'etlioven, Chopin and Mozart, are now generally more rccrptl ·e to Amcn!'an music than cvPr bl'fore - the music of CharlPS Ives, I belH'VC, has helped 1'~uropeans under- stand us better," Copland aid ,\. ked at a news conf r- Cn<" if he could recommend a c-an·er in music compos1- t1on to a young musician, Coplan said, "C:ompos1t1on is not something you ran rec- ommend, or not rrcom• rnPnd, or something that a young musician would be llkch to ask to have rrcom- ml'nded.
