"I will ask both our U.S. senators from California and the entir Cali- fornia delegation to the House of Representatives to co-author tlie leg- islation required to effect this need- ed change," Wilson promised. The city is under federal order to build a secondary treatment plant and has sought other ways of meet- ing federal clean-water standards. Wilson said the energy task force he envisions woula be responsible for addressing the problem of ener- gy for the city. Wilson criticized the state Energy Commission for vetoing the pro- posed Sundesert Nuclear Plant and said the result will be loss of 40,000 jobs by the end of the century. He said the task force would have members "drawn from institutions of higher learning and research and industry," but said no energy sup- pliers would be enlisted except as witnesses before the task force. Decisions yet to be made, Wilson said, include additional eastern and northern routes to the proposed downtown-to-Tijuana trolley, reloca- tion of Lindbergh Field and pay raises for police officers. "We will get the facts, and we shall overcome even the revenue gap," Wilson said. He also promised to continue his "war on crime," declared in last year's speech. citing such progress as authorization last year of 126 new police jobs, new programs aimed at purse snatching and crimes against the elderly, and creation of a 25- member citizen Crime Control Com- mission which is studying the coun- ty's criminal justice system.

The reason for the deficit Wilson said, is limited revenues und~r Prop- os1tion 13 and "sharp inflation" that will bring a $15 million shortfall. Another $19 million revenue loss is anticipated from the "probable passage" of Howard Jarvis' state initiative that "promises to Califor- nia taxpayers a cut of half in their state income tax." . Althou~h Wilson had opposed the first Jarvis-Gann initiative (Proposi- tion _13), he did not speak out today agamst the newest initiative. Instead, he identified the city's capi- tal improvements program as a can- didate for further budget cuts. ·The program funds new projects such as street widenings, park im- provements and construction of fire stations. . Wilson praised city productivity I~provements, saying they saved $2 million last year. But he said the city needs more volunteer effort such as the_ 102,000 h~urs given last year by police reservists, the money for res- toration of the Spreckels Organ, and gifts of undeveloped land. The Commission on Volunteer Ac- tion would identify city activities that could be done by volunteers while the Art Works Fund would help to correct the "scarcity" of public works of art in San Diego. As in years past, Wilson identified accommodation of growth as a high city priority. He criticized "the tactic of inac- tion" of those who, hoping to thwart population growth, oppose expand- ing the city's sewer capacity and its water and energy supply. "Clearly this tactic is unaccept- able," Wilson said, adding that such · measures will not discourage new arrivals and could lessen the city's , quality of life. It was an apparent reference to such growth foes as County Supervi- sor Roger Hedgecock, who has op- posed a fifth water pipeline to the county, and the Coalition for Respon- si~l: Planning, a north city group cnt1c.:l of sewer expansion. Wilson said the problems of water a~d, energy impact most upon the city s growth accommodation. He advocated construction of the Peripheral Canal - to be voted upon by the state Legislature - to bring more water from Northern Califor- nia, and construction of the fifth pipeline to San Diego County. He called the pipeline "an ex- tremely wise and necessary step, even were the Peripheral Canal never built." In addition, he said the city should press for federal funds for recycling waste water instead of using federal money to build secondary treatment plants. ·

STATE OF CITY TALK

Mayor sees lean years By VICKI TORRES TRIBUNE Stoff Writer Wilson called such volunteer efforts "an idea whose time has come again by virtue of the tax rebellion in process in our state."

Labeling the 1980s a "decade of decision," Mayor Wilson today proposed creating volunteer citizen groups to help the city provide services and meet its energy needs in the lean years to come. In his annual State of the City address Wilson suggested creation of a Commission on Volunt~r Action for Co~m~nity In?provement to find ways to reiJlace dwmdlmg city services and money with volunteer efforts. He also proposed an Energy 2000 Task Force to be headed by \l)liversity of Sao Pif!io President Author Hughes, which would assess the metropolitan area's energy need. to the year 2000 and make recommenda- tions toward meeting them. And Wilson advocated a Municipal Statuary and Art Works Fund through which works of art could be donated to the city.

"In the decades since the New Deal, a trend toward centralization of power and authority in Washington has somewhat eroded the fundamental American ideal of looking to volunteers rather than public employees for the performance of desirable services of all kinds " he ~w. , The nuts-and-bolts details of staffing and funding the groups were not outlined by the mayor, nor were their proposed lengths of life. Instead, Wilson concentrated on the need for them citing ~n anticipated $34 million budget deficit next year that will bnng budget cuts "intensely more painful than ever."

Prop 13 promises leaner days for city colleges By JOSEPH THESKEN TRIBUNE Educo!Hln Wriler bination of the schools' aca- demic climate and the

The inauguration of ad- vanced registration at SDSU was a resoundmg success that took many of the administrators by surprise. Nearly 25,000 stu- dents took advantage of the process, which was partly computerized, to line up their classes early and avoid the traditional long lines in the fall. Anew building was dedi- cated on USD's campus - the Philip Y. Hahn School of Nnrsing, which offers ad- vanced degrees to nursing students. The school received a $1 million grant from the Na- tional Institute for Mental Health to educate nurses seeking a graduate degree in psychiatric nursing.

move responsibilities for research and graduate studies from Vice Chancel- lor Paul Saltman sparked the controversy. At Point Loma College, the Rev. Bill Draper was installed as president last spring. He came from Bourbonnais, Ill., where he was a Church of the Na- zarene pastor. On campus, several buildings were refurbished, including one that now houses the Student Center. Adrive to raise funds for a new center is planned. The most important news coming from the Communi- ty College District in '79 was a massive reorganiza- tion of the district by the trustees. They approved Chancellor Garland Peed's plan to streamline opera- tions, the setting up of re- .gional districts and a change in Evening College's status. Peed ~id the moves would save the district in excess of $200,000 a year. Evening College, consid- ered one_af. the · · ' most successful divisions, was integrated into the total campus operation, coexisting with the daytime faculty. In other actions on the UCSD campus: - Dr. Chia-Wei Woo, 41, a Shanghai-born educator, was named provost of Re- velle College, replacing Dr. June Luin Tapp. Woo was chairman of Northwestern University's physics de- partment before his ap- pointment to UCSD. - McElroy negotiated a new student exchange be- tween two Chinese universi- ties and UCSD, in which Chinese students would come here for scientific studies and American stu- dents would learn Chinese history and art.

- UC regents approved construction of a $2.5 mil- lion, 500-seat theater which would serve the university as well as the community. Ground breaking is sched- uled for early in 1980. - Third College students made it official. In a cam- pus vote last spring, they said they preferred "Third College" over other possi- ble names. San Diego State, with the help of local legislators, succeeded in getting the Legislature's approval to fund its long-sought North County campus. Space was leased from Lincoln Junior High School in Vista, and the first enrollment was 300. Lawrence Clinger was named its first director.

city's balmy weather prob- ably combined to attract out-of-city and out-of-state_ students. SDSU, which had to repay money to the state in 197S-79 because of a drop in enrollments, had a bumper crop of students reporting for classes in the fall. The final tally was 31,920, about -1,000 more than the previ- ous year. The university expects to gain close to $1 million in additional revenue as a re- sult of this enrollment boost. UCSD's student popula- tion hit 11,183, compared with 10,797 in 197S-79. The La Jolla university has grown steadily in its 15- year history. USD topped the 4,000- mark in students this fall for the first time, up sever- al hundred over last year. As a result of the large influx of students to San Diego, housing was at a premium. Both SDSU and 'YCSD set up special hous- ing offices to canvass neighborhoods and tele- phone prospective land- lords for available apart- ments and houses. Some students had to re- turn home because they couldn't find places to live. The most dramatic event on any of the campuses was the struggle between UCSD's faculty and Chan- cellor William McElroy over his administration, a conflict which led to his resignation in August. The school's Academic Senate, in an unprecedent- ed action, censured McEl- roy last spring for what it termed his "continual pat- tern of not consulting the faculty on issues of deep concern to them." McElroy's plan to re- St. Mary's Plays af U. San Dieao From a Tl~• Stall Writer SA~ DIEGO-The Ylliversity of San Dieg~ will shoot for its first West Coast Atletic Conference win to- night at 7:30 when it plays host to St. Mary's College in the Sports Arena. The Toreros, 3-6, overall, began their first WCAC season last week on the road by losing to Portland (98- 76) and Seattle (99-76). SL Mary's, 1-1 m the WCAC and 4-8 overall, is coming off a 103-101 overtime win against Pepperdine. Center Bob Bartholomew continues to be the key man for USD, averaging 15.1 points and 8.3 rcoounds a game. Others averaging double figures in scoring are guard Earl Pierce (13.4) and forward Russell Jackson (I1.8). 1lSD lost another player last week when reserve guard Ken Cooney se- verely sprained an ankle in practice. Two weeks ago, starting center Joe Evans was declared academically in- eligible.

Both encouraging and discouraging trends were noted on San Diego's uni- versity and college cam- puses as the 1970s came to :i close. On the plus side were the record enrollments at San Diego State University, UCSD and l!DiYecsity pf San Di(lgo in the fall term, at a time when schools na- tionally are recording a de- clining number of students. But a tightening economy and passage of Proposition 13 placed a brake on spend- ing for higher education. And leaner days are pre- dicted for the '80s. At SDSU, President Thomas Day was forced to cut 50 faculty positions in the past year because of a lean budget for state uni- versities. His decision to "bite the bullet" early, in anticipation of the trimmed-down budget, gen- erated a stormy confronta- tion between Day and the university's faculty. Construetion funding for the various campuses was all but dried up as a result of Proosition 13. The San Diego Communi- ty College District had to drop its plans, at least for the present, to push for con- struction of a full-fledged campus at Miramar Col- lege. The master plan had called for it to be completed in the mid-1980s. At UCSD, previous allo- cations approved by the Legislature resulted in the building of Phase II of Third College, which in- cluded structures for the provost, faculty offices and classrooms. They are scheduled for use in the winter semester. Why enrollment jumped at San Diego universities puzzled officials, but a com-

Toreros Host St. Mary's In WCAC Tilt · The University of San Diego, 0-2 and minus anoth- er front line player, hosts St. Mary's tonight in its first home West Coast Ath- letic Conference game at 7: 30 in the Sports Arena. The Toreros, 3-6 overall, dropped contests last week- end to Portland (98-76) and Seattle (99-76), and lost re- serve forward Ken Cooney indefinitely with torn liga- ments in his ankle. l[§!2. is led offer,sively by center Bob Bartholomew (15.4 points per game), Earl Pierce (13.4), and Russ.:il Jackson (11.8). The other starters are Mike Stockalper and Brad Levesque. St. Mary's has split its first two WCAC games. The Gaels lost to Loyola, but surprised Pepperdine, 89- 87 Guards David Vann and Ted Wood are St. Mary's top scorers, with 16.4 and 13.2 averages, respectively. Like t§l1 however, the Gaels start a very small front line: forwards Allen Cotton (6-4) and Peter Thi· beaux (6-6), and cen~er. David Campbell (6-5). Meanwhile, in Flagstaff, Ariz., USIU has a 7:30 (MST) date with Northern Arizona. The 3-7 Gulls, who dropped a 111-80 decision to Boston University at the Sports Arena Saturday, will be decided underdogs against the 10-4 Lumber- jacks, who are 2-0 in the Big Sky Conference.

EVENING TRIBUNE JAN 9 19Ba Weakened Toreros lace Gaels things get any worse, , Universi~ of San Di,ego - basketba Coach Jim Bro- velli may end up playing some himself before the season ends. As his Toreros prepare to meet St. Mary 's tonight at 7:30 in the Sports Arena in a West Coast Athletic Con- ference game, Brovelli finds he will be minus yet another front-line player. This time it's reserve for- ward Ken Cooney, who has tom ligaments in his ankle. Before the season even began, Brovelli lost top re- cruit Paul Appleby with a fractured knee cap and Dave Cook decided not to play. Then, a few weeks mto the season, starting center Joe Evans was ruled academically meligible. Since then, the going has been rough on (,!SQ. which stands 0-2 in the WCAC and 3-6 overall. "We're really hurting in the front line," said Brovel- li, "and this is a front-line conference. We're really thin right now. We're play- ing with 11 guys. "Adding to that, the WCAC is experimenting with the 45-second clock, so we can only do certain things before we have to shoot. The clock 1s definite- ly at our disadvantage right now." T~

Second-hall lapse costly to Toreros Unable to stop St. Mary's on the boards in the second half, \)niversity of San Die~o's basketball team absorbed an 83-73 trimming from t e Gaels at the Sports Arena last night to see its West Coast Athletic Conference record drop to 0-3. The Toreros turned in a good first half and trailed by only 43-40, but the visitors gained control early in the last half and went on to breeze to victory. "If we don't contain these people on the boards, we have no chance," lJ,§D Coach Jim Brovelli said. "We did well in the first half, but it's tough to stop a team for 40 minutes, particularly when we have only three people to go with up front." '(JSD'.s next start will be against a strong Santa Clara team Saturday at 1 at the Sports Arena. Meanwhile, UCSD was raising its season record to 8-7 by downing Mt. Senario of Wisconsin 91-80 in the Tritons' gym. UCSD led from start to finish, piling up a 55-32 halftime advantage. Dane Bedard, a sophomore guard, led the Tritons with 25 points. U.S. International University also turned in a stron& first half at Northern Arizona, only to falter in the second half and bow 69-59 because the Gulls couldn't tame Mark Stevens, who scored 21 points and tnrned in 20 re.bounds. USIU was in front 34-30 at halftime. On the junior college front last night, Mesa, San Diego City and MiraCosta chalkPd up victories and Palomar lost. Mesa prevailed over Grossmont in a South Coast Conference game 79-78 when Richard Walker made a 0- foot shot with three seconds remaining on the clock. The basket ended a three-game losing streak for the Griffins. SDCC had trouble with Southwestern before finally coming out on top 109-106 as Zack Jones dumped in season-high 34 points. He had been averaging 29 entering the game. Delonte Taylor, with 22, and Joe Morrison 1 with 21, were other leading scorers for SDCC, which now has taken 10 of 12 starts.
