Open Date H.elps USO To Regroup University of San Diego coarh Dick Logan gave !tis T01 cros today and tomorrow off after a week of hard nta.ct drills that Logan 'termed productive. With a well-timed open date this week, Logan sent hjs team back to fundamen- ~s after last Saturday's 31- Ioss to the University or dlands in the season's r st game. Red.lands advanced at will through the middle of USD's 5-2 defense, piling up Z58 yards between the tackles. "It was discouraging, the way they were able to main• tain drives just by runhing nght at us," Logan said. He shifted offens.ive guard John Boehlke, a 192-pound fresh- man from Claremont, to noseguard, where yo1,mg Dave Gibbs was victimized last week by Redland's traps and counters. "We've done a lot of hit· ting," Logan said of the week's workouts. "We spent a lot of time on the little things."

Dr. James Burns·: F 1 irm Confidence In U.S. System National Debt Seen AsJnsignificant When Resources Considered By DENISEA. CARABET SANDIEGODAILYTRANSCR!PTSTAFFWRITER If t~e federal government ran its accounting ledgers like business does the amount of national debt would b ' insignificant, says Dr. James Burnse the newly a~pointed dean of th~ School of Business at the University of San Diego. .

Because there's really no need to place a value on our assets. Some of them are intangible. Like, how do you put a monetary value on an educated and, fairly affluent population? You can t . Our agricultural lands are the be t in the world , our expor t., e¥ceed records each year. Burns frowned at this point, uncustomary for his visage and ad- ded: "Sure, we get temporary d1sl9<:ations.

"We did a lot of s~im- maging and got a lot or work done," Logan continued. "We are a lot better team this week." He said the offensive line which provided good pas~ blocking, performed well last week, and that lineback- er Greg Perkins and tackle Rich Bezanson stood out de- fensively. Logan was not overly::con- cerned with Redlands' 219 yards and four touchdowns via the air. "The secondary played okay, but their backs were to the wall all night. Redlands had_ short yardage on all their second-down situa- tions."

Burns, who worked for General Dynamics from 1961 F to 1964, got his doctor's de- gree at Harvard Business F School and taught at the Uni- 1 versity of Southern Califor- nia from 1968 to 1974. He then came to USD as an associate professor in the business school. When the school's dean resigned early this year, the faculty picked Burns as acting dean and the school administration ac- [ cepted the decision. After 1 what he said was a normal, \ thorough search for a new F dean, he was a named to the i position last May. : Burns believes strongly in F the concept of a full-time ( faculty and in the need to F teach students skills not only I for the first job after they I finish school but for years in 1 the future.

James M Burns, dean of the University of San Diego ~chool of Business, believes that business students today need to know much more than is taught in traditional business school courses. "Key business leaders aren't getting burned in areas like merchandising and finance," said Burns, 39, in an interview. "They'z:e being hurt because they don't understand community ,action, environmentalists ;md social systems within the community." While Burns is interested in "a reality kind or educa- tion for practioners," he is "not interested in training technicians who know busi- ness but nothing else. We need business leaders who thoroughly understand the environment they function in.,,
