The chemistry department alone has 17 com- panies as donors. •'This enables us to fund special programs, such as seminars, which v:ie couldn't do otherwise," Orbach said. Frequently the dollars from business bring expert speakers to the c~mpus. Especially important m the 198?~ are donations for endowed faculty pos111ons, chairs scholarships and program costs, said J;me R. Appleton, vice president for development at the University of Southern California. "Fortunately, we see corpora- tions sophisticated' enough to value all of the e.

added 12 and Chris Carr, who capped the evening perfectly with a slam dunk, had 10. Whitmarsh doled out seven assists. Reuss grabbed 12 rebounds and Whitmarsh had nine. "That was a helluva game wasn't it?" Whitmarsh said with a smile. "Wasn't that crowd great. That sixth man really helps. That was a very big game for us. If we would have lost we might have been down going on the road next weekend in Los Angeles. We've lost so many close games. And I've seen this team lose so many other close games when my brother (Rusty) was playing here. I think we've turned it around. This team is for real.•· The Toreros play six of their final nine conference contests away from the friendly Sports Center. USO will visit Loyola-Marymount Friday evening and Pepperdine Saturday. Both are 7:30 p.m. starts. The Toreros are 1-5 on the road thus far. They are 11-7 overall. "Two wins in conference is great for us," Reuss said. "This game should give us that much more confidence on the road. But it hasn't worked like that for us yet. Now we're beginning to see just how serious this is. Maybe that will make a difference on the road."

for another 3:05. USO was in a delay offense where head coach Jim Brovelli wanted nothing by layups. Freshman center Scott Thompson missed the front ends of two one- and-one situations in that span. With 57 seconds showing USD junior guard Mark Bostic sank two free throws for a 64-62 lead. Santa Clara's Harold Keeling missed a shot the next time down the floor but was fouled by Reuss in a scramble for the ball. Keeling was at the line with 27 seconds left shooting a one-and-one. "I wouldn't have wanted to been Harold Keeling at the line," Reuss said. "It was so loud in here I had just a little buzzing in my ear." Keeling missed, Reuss rebounded and was fouled. Santa Clara then called a timeout. "I just kept thinking to myself in the huddle that th!s was just like practice," Reuss said. "I don't miss them m practice so I shouldn't miss them in a game. I put the crowd out of my mind. Even though they were for us they could still have made a little difference. I just knew they (the free throws) were going down." The Toreros had four players in double figures. Whitmarsh led them with 16. Reuss and Bostic each

The win puts USO at 2-1 in WCAC activity. The Broncos fell to 2-2 St. Mary's leads the pack at 3-0. Pepperdine is tied for second with USO. "That was a good win," Reuss understated after the Toreros won their 10th home contest m 12 starts. Whitmarsh hit one of two free throws to put USO up 62-58 with 4 02 unplayed.
