Sentinel 87 marble and ivory from the University's collection will be exhibited. A reception is set for Tuesday from 7to9p.m. Founders Gallery director Therese Whitcomb says, "In the late 19th Century reality was often defined in terms of specific description, as was technical skill and cultural acumen. Whether in costume, formal manners or the itinerary of a Grand Tour, the whole was judged in terms qf a plethora of finite detail. As the new rich of Europe and America travelled·, they collected art forms characterized by overt subject matter and intricate craftsmanship. which typified the areas they visited."

tJSD meets $15 million goal, plans 3 buildings

the university has plans for two other major buildings, a student center to house various student services, such as dining halls, recreation and health services, and a building to house ad- mimstrative offices, which are pres- ently decentralized. . Hughes, in remarks for dehvery at the ground-breaking, said the build- mg program stems from a dramatic enrollment growth at USD ··our plans for the campus devel- opment are no the product of aspi- rat10n or anticipation of growth; they are our answers to a clear and press- mg existing ne~d. he said. He said there has been a 72 per- cent increase in student enrollment at USO since 1977, a tripling of the enrollment in the School of Business, and an average classroom utilization of 87 percent. USO has a student body of nearly ~.000.

Although no date has been set ye1 for construction of the School ol Business and the conference center Hughes indicated the universit~ wanted to proceed as soon as possi• ble. Hughes lauded Mrs. Copley for _her leadership of Discovery Campaign, and for the $1.5 million gift from the James S. Copley Foundation. Bishop Leo T Maher of the San Diego Roman Catholic Diocese re- called the roles of the late Bishop Charles F. Buddy and the late Mother Rosalie Hill, of the Religious of the Sacred Heart and mother su- perior of the San Francisco College for Women, in creating what w_as to become the University of San Diego. "What began as a partnership_ be- tween the diocese and the Religious of the Sacred Heart has today spread and grown into a partnership which engages the community of San Diego and the larger community of persons who understand the role of private higher education in the welfare and vitality of our nation," Maher said. USD Trustee Douglas Manches- ter's $500,000 gift, which was an- nounced last December, pushed ahead construction plans for the $2 million Manchester Executive Con- ference Center, Hughes said. It will be the university's "premier conference facility," the setting for academic sessions, continuing educa- tion seminars and workshops, and public lectures presented by distin- guished visiting scholars, he added. The new School of Business will house classrooms, faculty offices, seminar and lounge space and cen- ters for student accounting, word processing and computer science in- struction for the school. Its eventual cost is not determined at this time, a USO spokeswoman said. The 45,000-square-foot building will be located at the west end of the campus, near the Philip Y. Hahn School of Nursing. Architects are Tucker, Sadler and Associates of San Diego. USD is an independent, Catholic institution chartered in 1949 as the College for Women and the College for Men. Classes began in 1952 for women students, and in 1954 for men students. Hughes was named president in 1971, and the following year brought about the unification of the colleges under the present University of San Diego.

C-12 Thursday Nov. 11, 1982 LA JOLLA LIGHT Fund-raising goal reached·; construction on library qegun

La Jollan Helen K. Copley, chairman and chief executive officer of Copley Press Inc. and trustee of the University of San Diego, announced at ground- breaking ceremonies last Tuesday the successful completion of a USO fund-raising campaign for which she has served as chair- man for the past three years. The "Discovery Campaign," as the fund-raising effort was called, achieved its goal of $15 million for campus develop- ment. Funding support for develop- ment projects came from private benefactors, corporate donors and foundations, including La Jollans Dr. Bernard and Ethel Aginsky, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas C. Barger, Dr. Anita Figueredo and Douglas and Betsy Manchester. The major gift for the library construction came from the James S. Copley Foundation, which will more than double the size of the existing library. The extended facility will be

designated the Helen K. and James S. Copley Library. Ar- chitects for the project are Mosher, Drew, Watson and Ferguson, a La Jolla firm. Author E. Hughes, USO presi- dent, detailed the purpose of the campaign - the addition to the library, a new facility for the School of Business Admini- stration, and an executive con- ference center. Plans for the future include a student center, which will house various student services such as dining halls, rec- reation, health services, and administrative offices, all of which are presently decen- tralized. Hughes described the construc- tion plans as the University's response to enrollment growth. "Our plans for campus develop- ment," he said, "are not the product of aspiration or antici- pation of growth , they are our answer to a clear and pressing existing need." He cited an increase of 72 per-

cent in headcount enrollment since 1977, a tripled enrollment in the School of Business, and an average classroom utiliza- tion rate of 87 percent. USD trustee Douglas Manchester's $500,000 leader- ship gift announced last Decem- ber moved the university ahead in plans for the construction of what will be known as the Manchester Executive Confer- ence Center. Situated between the new School of Business building and the School of Nursing, the new center will be the premier con- ference facility for the university the setting for academic sessions-many of them in the field of business-continuing education seminars and work- shops, and public lectures pre- sented by distinguished visiting scholars. The University of San Diego is an independent, Catholic in- stitution enrolling 5,003 under- graduate and graduate students.

GRIT: The Clippers' new gen- eral, manager, Paul Phipps, hasn t met arena operator Peter Graham yet, but Graham is his No. 1 target. "The Clippers can make it," he says. "The biggest problem we have in this city is with the arena. Operations are atrocious. The stadium is dirty. It's a scandal throughout the league. Graham's lease viola- tions, both with us and the city, are up to maybe a dozen. If he doesn't comply we'll go to City Council. We can't find a new owner until we get that cleaned up. And I'm not here to see the franchise moved. My mother-in- law (Evelyn Vevia of Santee) lives here. She'd shoot me if the Clippers moved." GOOD GlJYS: At the VA Medi- cal Center, plans are under way for one of the city's largest Christmas parties: on Dec. 15, about 3,000 patients, outpatients and former patients will turn up, and Michael Digan's job is to see that there's a gift for each. . .. Superior Court Judge James A. Malkus is trying a new probation condition in minor crime convic- tions: donations to the San Diego Crime Victims Fund. . . . Vice Adm. Jim Stockdale, former Vietnam POW, speaks tomorrow when the Chamber of Commerce honors the top 105 military per- sonnel in the county. . . . Three delightful USD students played chamber music at lunch this week for a ground-breaking audi- ence. Amy Wayne, John Caughlin and David Conroy looked out the windows at black clouds and named themselves: The Titanic Salon Ensemble.

l\eil M)rgan TROPHY: Sen.-elect Pete Wil- son's most cherished campaign souvenir seems to be the two commemorative stamps mount- ed on velvet and framed for him by his friend, Atty. Jim Milch. Collector Milch tracked down two 1979 U.N. postage stamps urging the independence of Nam- ibia. And it was Gov. Jerry Brown's blindside debate ques- tion about Wilson's policy on Namibia that some think was the campaign's turning point. Mys- teriously, Wilson was elaborately prepared; the camera sl)owed Brown stunned. (Brown aide Dick Silberman, ·who coached Brown for the debates, says the Namibii question was Brown's own idea.) CITY SCENE: A two-hour re- ception for donors and dignitar- ies preceded "The Threepenny Opera" at last night's opening of UCSB's Mandell Weiss Center for the Performing Arts. Chancellor Richard Atkinson, the first per- son to speak from the all-black stage, noted the "high emotion" of the moment and the unique sharing of the theater by UCSD and La Jolla Playhouse, which will operate it during the sum- mer. Mandell Weiss, 92, the chief donor ($1.2 million) stood to long applause. On a more modest scale is the plaque honoring UCSD architect Charles Powers. It is in the men's restroom and reads: "Urinal. Our thanks to C.B. Powers for his generous gift.
