ight at 'Thunder Dome' Carrick DeHart, who had six (3-of-11 shooting).

Egan likes to take his teams, espe- cially young ones, on the road early in the season to places where it's tough to play. Last weekend. it was The Pit. Last night, it was UCSB's· "Thunder Dome," where two nights earlier against Loyola Marymount a fan protested a call by throwing an empty whisky bottle onto the court. The anticipated baptism of fire didn't come when it was expected, in New Mexico. But come it did. Said sophomore guard Kelvin Means: "This wakes us up to the real- ity that other teams aren't gomg to roll over when we apply pressure. And that when we are pressured, we just have to be patient and run our stuff."

lB got big rughts from its big Mike Doyle, Gary Gray and McArthur combined for 44 and 19 rebounds. Doyle scored e-high 19, early turnovers, though, were took the Toreros out of the was the first team to come cS like we go arter other peo- gan said.

Balboa Park museums and galler- ies," Brennan said. "Justice students can volunteer in the courts or in juvenile matters For health related students there are endless opportunities for community service," she said. It was SDSU students who recently rushed to help the San Diego Hospice when an emergency mailing had to be out in a single day. Volunteers persuaded a group of San Diegans to turn over their state tax rebates to buy pamt to rede- corate a school gymnasium. Students work with foster children m a big brother and big sister rela- tionship; they help at the campus child-care center. Fraternity members, often the ob- ject of heavy cnticism, are frequent- ly in the front ranks of volunteers, network leaders said. "We work with the the United Way and many other established agencies. We are not trying to reinvent the wheel and look for new areas of need; there's already plenty of identi• fied need out there," said Kim Jack• son, a speech major. Now the center is developing a computer data base that will show volunteer opportunities not only by type of need, but by geographical area and by accessibility by bus. To Twombly and Vasconcellos, the center is more than a move to get students to volunteer. "We are trying to establish a greater societal sense that volunteer- ism is a moral obligation in any so- phisticated society," Twombly said. "It's also a way of breaking down some of the traditional isolationism of university campuses and of taking the classroom into the real world," he said. "We're not surprised by the results at places like SDSU. In our prelimi- nary surveys we got the feeling there was a huge pool of willingness on the campuses, but nobody had every said, 'It's OK, the gates are open, go out and do it.' "Now the gates are open, and once organized, we believe they will be flood gates," Twombly said.

Brian Westlund, a finance senior, has so far written to 50 local busmess leaders seeking financial help and has succeeded in obtaining a few grants. ''I'm looking for two kinds of finan- cial help: small grants to meet im- mediate printing and other operating costs, and ongoing grants covering a number of years to give us a continu- ous funding base," he said. Selena Brennan, another political science junior, is Jr.,ady doing a fol- low-up to make sur volunteei:s and recipients at happy \I th each other. "We realize t at some kinds ofvol- unteer work is JUS not suited to stu- dents, and we don't -ant t waste any time or t n off any eaier stu- dents," she said. Faculty members also are 'iiletting involved. Instead of requiring written pa- pers on community work, faculty members are now offering up to three study units for community ser-

vice, and sending the students through the network. The option makes it a combination of working for credit and volunteering services. Sean Verner, an aerospace engi- neering maJor and Sigma Pi frater- nity member, is in his second year of volunteering as a tutor at the Wilson 'diddle School. 'Tm really enioymg this. I taught math last year. Now I'm helping with reading," he said. In another corner of the Wilson school library, Carla Becker was busy teaching fractions to seventh- grader Shavonda Mitchell. "I've learned a lot from doing this community work. I'm an education major and I believe anything that can be done to increase student com- munity work is an excellent idea," she said. For Shavonda it was a head start over the rest of the class in under- standing fractions. "I'm sure a lot of my friends would

like this kind of individual help from a college student, she said. Leslie Robbins, a journalism and advertising major on the network staff, has done class work on commu- nity service both ways - by writing papers and volunteering. "Two years ago I wrote a paper. It was all very theoretical and didn't have too much meaning for me. But by going out into thP community and keeping a journal of my experiences, I learned a lot more about every- thing from voluntary service to man- agement and people skills," she said. Now, entire academic depart- ments such as health, the arts and criminal justice are spotlighting community service as part of the curriculum, and the network is tailoring service openings to individ- ua I student needs and wishes. "For music and art students we have volunteer jobs as ushers at the San Diego Symphony concerts or at the School of Performing Arts and in

The second is legislation, authored by San Jose As emblyman John Vasconcellos and passed last year. It calls on every state university and University of California student to volunteer 30 hours to community ser- vice each school year. "SDSU had one of the very top- most developed student volunteer ef- forts in California and was one of the models we used in developing the state legislation," said Michael P.

Dividends would be considered, Todd -said, when the demands _of Rohr's growth cycle are not so m- tense as they are now. One shareholder suggest caught Todd's fancy. It was that if the annu- al meeting were again held at the University of San Diego, students be invited to attend. "I like that," Todd brightened. "~t them see the real corporate world m action rather than just books."
