It will be in the present. . Never mind that Orwell ongmally planned to call the book ''Tbe Last Man in Europe," that he came close to placing it in 1981 or 1982, or that he arrived at the ultimate title sim- ply by mverting the last two digits of the year (1948) in which he completed this, his last and most famous work.

Tr,bane 1/Jusuat,on by Kn~ Lindblad using evcrythmg from computerized data banks to electronic surveillance to rob us of our privacy and individu- ality? ln sbort, was Orwell attempting to predict the future - or issue a warn- ing? Dennis Rohat)n, a pbilosophy pro- fessor at the Umversity of San Diego and an Orwell scholar, believes the late autbor was issuing a warning. not prognosticating . Elements of Newspeak or Big Brothertsm may indeed exist - Rohatyn doesn't deny it - but he in- sists they will be held in check as long as people read "Nineteen Eighty-Four" and are cogmzant of the many threats against freedom 1t describes. Freedom. he says, is ours to lose. "We tend to use the word 'Orwelh· an' for anything we dislike. from laxes to red lights," Rohatyn said. "But some people don·t seem to un- derstand that rules are what make freedom possible To the extent that we're aware of incursions into our freedom. to that extent the incur- sions can't fully happen. "Orwell wasn't trying to prognosti- cate, he was trying to warn us. He was telling us that if we didn't watch out, it would be an awful slip down the mountam into totalitarianism." Rohatyn says a key difference be· tween the fictional government m '"Nineteen Eighty-Four·• and that of the United Slates is that people m this country believe democracy, de- spite its flaws. 1s basically good. "It seems to me that the difference between the fictional society in the book and ours is not that we don't need to coerce people into believing democracy 1s good. Amencans may moan and groan about things, but most of them still believe democracy Please see 1984, E-3

The center will provide student lounges, dining areas, game room, recre- ation and travel center, of- fices and conference rooms. ''The University Center will truly complement the center of learning envi- sioned by (the late) Bishop Buddy 40 years ago," Hughes said. "For the first time, our student popula- tion will be served by a sin- gle facility unifying recre- ational, counseling, medical and activities functions." The center will be the final project in the campus development plans.

p.m. Jan. 30 and repeated at 2 p.m. Feb. 2. Rohatyn will be one of three professors to lead a spe• cial honors class on Orwell at USD in the fall, and he is looking forward to traveling to Akron, Ohio, next month for a conference on the author. Io a word, he believes Orwell had a message for us all. Unlike many Orwell aficionados, Rohatyn believes it is one of optimisim. He views the ending of "Nineteen Eighty-Four" as one of bope, not despair. He says it is merely a human reaction when the prota- gonist of the story, minor bureaucrat Winston Smith, be- trays Julia, the office co-worker he loves, when threat- ened with torture by interrogators. "My own feeling is that if there were no hope, then Winston and J ulia wouldn't have met on a park bench later to discuss their feelings," Rohatyn said. "At the end of the book, Winston is told that Julia betrayed him, too, even though we never see that and we never know that to be true. The point is that the couple meets on the bench. There is a bare flicker of hope and care, in my estimation, when they do.... "Orwell said the book was a satire on tendencies m society that, if left unchecked, would lead to disaster. I have to say that it is a work based on hope. If not, why write it!"

is good. They don't want to change the system. They just want to make a good living, most of them, and be left alone. "In Oceania, the people are constantly being coerced into accepting their beliefs. Americans don't need to be compelled to believe in the system, however imperfectly they understand it." Rohatyn, who was born in April 1949 - two months before publication of "Nineteen Eighty-Four" - is mar- ried and the father of two. A native of New York City, he holds a doctorate in philosophy from Fordham Universi- ty. He has lived in San Diego six years. He edited and was one of eight USD professors to con- tribute to a manuscnpt on Orwell that is being published in "Cogito." an international journal on philosophy, soci- ety and politics. His paper, '·Politics and the Human Es- sence," focuses on Orwell's view of human nature. Rohatyn also appeared with the other professors on a five-part panel series on Orwell broadcast over Cox Cable's public acx·css channel in May and June. The pro- grams are bemg repeated at 8 p.m. Sundays through New Year's Day. In addition. he was a guest on the "On Campus" TV show with George Fenneman, where he and several other experts discussed Orwell. The show will be aired at 10:30

The Bishop Buddy Award, named for the University's founder and first bishop of the Diocese of San Diego, was created by the USD Alumni Association to recognize alumni whose lives are marked by outstanding contributions to their career fields, community, and the university. alumni director Tom Martz . Clements, a resident of Mira Mesa and member of the USO Class of 1977, teaches at Muir and Revelle Colleges at UCSD, where he also is working on his doctorate in English . Highly active in his parish, Good Shepherd, he is active in the Planetary Society and local right-to-life organizations, assists in the religious education pro- gram, and has been a group leader in RENEW, a three-year program of spiritual renewal. A quadraplegic suffering from a rare muscle disorder, Clements had been confined to a wheelchair for the past 16 years. "Those who know him well, " Wilson said, "point to his perseverance, sense of humor, and willingness to give." Sharing this year's award with Clements was Fa ther Neal Dolan, USD Class o f 1960 and since July 1982 episcopal vicar and dean of the university deanery in the Diocese of San Diego. Described during the presenta- tion ceremonies as "an outstan- d ing huma n being and an ex- traordinary priest," Dolan is in- volved in the ministry to priests and in work with newly ordained priests. Among his former posts have been director of vocations for the Diocese, during which time he was cited as the country's most outstanding vocations director, director of Pre-Cana, faculty member of St. Francis Seminary, and director of the permanent deaconate program, and vice president of the National Association of Deaconate Directors.
