The University Center at USO opened edrller this year. The San Diego Union/Humberto Ramirez sors and staff can relax. Offices tor student groups, lounges, dining areas and a marketplace are included.

student groups. A gane room has pool tables and video games, the griJI doubles as a nightclub and a rr:ult1 purpose room can be tran fo rned into seating for 650. To reinforce the traditiorial luok, Whitcomb placed blown-up photo- graphs of Spanish Renaissance build- ings throughout the University Cen- ter and chose colors and textures to recall the taste of the past. "We're very used (today) to indus• trial dyes, which have a sharper image," she said. Consequently, she took extra pains to find the right blue and then spread it around in the most unusual places - applying it to chalkboards and pool tables alike. Not even the smallest detatls es- caped Whitcomb's eye. In the men's restroom, she hung framed drawings of Renaissance-age commonfolk / (The_ bare-breasted "_girl from Grana da" JS sure to be a big hit.) "We wanted students to think of as the 'executive washroom,' " sl explained. "It's a good anti-graff

a study lounge." Food services occupy about 40 per- cent of the bu1 ding, but the layout is far more soplusttcated ,han the trad- 1tioual cafeterte1 common at most coileges. For ont thing, the main floor serving area 1s separated from the 375-seat dimng oom, and the fur- niture is movable - but not easily. '· e m a conscious decision to create a dining room," as opposed to the all-plastic, high-stress feeling of a fast-food restaurant, Cosgrove said. "The thought was that most people would be able to sit down and dine together." Added Whitcomb: "They needed to have a dming expenence. That's more important than flexibility."

"We didn·t want to look like a convention cen- ter." From the students' viewpoint, any- thing would have een an improve- ment. Until the University Center opened, their 48 organizations had to meet in vacant classrooms and ad- journ when lectures resumed. The faculty dining room was in a basement. The bookstore, cafeteria and study lounges were scattered all over the Linda Vista campus. Beginning in 1974. various student surveys and tours of other universi- ties led to the design program for architect Drew to follow. The goal, according to Whitcomb and center director Thom,s Cosgrove, was to produce a "livmg room" for the cam- pus. From all indica ions, they succeed- ed. The foyer is filleJ with students lounging in heavy furniture pat- terned after the solid look prevalent in mid-1500s Spain.

The court in that case ruled that defendants in death penalty cases cannot plead guilty and ask for the death penalty without their law- ye:'s consent. As a result of the ruling, Benke said in asking for reconsideration, the "trial process becomes a cha- rade forced upon a defendant who wishes to simply confess his crime. It becomes a hurdle to the truth." Benke received a baehelor's de- gree from _$an .Diego..State-Uni.ver- s1Cy' in 1971 and her law degree from the Uni)!:etsit;y of Sao Diego three years later. · , The salary for appellate court justices is $93,272.

Deukmejian appointed Benke to the San Diego Municipal Court in 1983 e promoted her to the Superit,r (..o..irt bench in 1985. As a deputy attorney general specializing in criminal matters, Benke had a reputation as a tireless worker, to the point that she once reportedly told a colleague that she got headaches if she went long 1 periods without working. As a Superior Court judge, she was gen- erally considered to lie a conserva- _tive and tough on crime. Benke once criticized the Su- preme Court fo~ making "a mock- ery of the justice process" after she lost a death penalty case while still a deputy attorney general in 1981.
