things that are helpful to San Diego, such as monitoring local bay pollution levels or changes, study- ing the offshore regions." He said the program is unlike those available at UCSD or San Diego State University in combin- ing science with non-science stud- ies and drawing heavily on local oceanographic and marine indus- tries experts for teachers and ar- ranging student internships. "We are supporting this project because none other like it exists," said F. Seth Brown, Oceans Foun- dation president. Hughes said students with the master's degree would be prepared for management-level positions within various marine industries such as fisheries or aquaculture (harvesting of aquatic plants and animals}, as well as paleoceanogra- phy, maritime history or marine management.

The San Diego Oceans Founda- tion, which promotes research and management of ocean resources, has promised a $10,000 donation toward a scholarship fund for the new USO program. A fund-raising benefit has been set for June 24 at the San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina. "If we combine the foundation's involvement in university pro- grams with these other activities, the community cannot help but be• come more aware of the ocean's importance to our economy and to our quality of life," Hughes said at a press conference outside Sea World's "A Place to Meet," former- ly the Atlantis Restaurant. Richard Casey, director of the USO Marine Studies Department, said he hopes to bring about 20 stu- dents into the graduate program. "It will be mainly research-ori- ented," Casey said.

By Pauline Repard [ J Two new graduate programs in marine science and ocean studies will open next year at the Universi- ty of San Diego, school offlc1als an- nounced yesterday. USO President Author E. Hughes said the master's degree programs are being created "in recognition that San Diego is a major oceano- graphic and business center and fast becoming an mternational cen- ter." Starting in the fall of 1989, stu- dents will be able to enroll in either the ocean studies or marine science programs in a double major with other disciplines such as business, communications, chemistry or biol- ogy. The new curriculum is de- signed to complement the school's three-year-old Marine Studies un- dergraduate program of 40 stu- dents. Staff Writer

"That's June's error for the year," commented Madison coach Steve Miner. One wa n't sure whether Miner wa serious, but everyone who fol- low the Warbawk knows that the diminutive Andrews doesn't make many. Miner, however, wasn't kidding. That wa indeed Andrews' first error of the season and she bas made one smce for the 15-1 Warhawks. "The ball kind of came up on me," Andrews says "I should have

On the contrary, she rarely strikes out, and with a runner on third, can be depended upon to put the ball in play. She's also an adept bunter and very selective. When Madison beat Thousand Oaks 1-0 in the Canyon tournament, it was Andrews who drove in the winning run with a bases-loaded single. When Debbie Corbett broke up the Foun- tain Valley game with a two-run homer, it was Andrews who started the rally by drawing a base on balls. Andrews, who plays basketball and tennis at Madison, will enroll at the U ·versity of San Diego next fall, but not on sc o ars 1 . She hasn't been offered anything for basketball and USD does not have softball scholar- ships. "I'm not sure whether I'll play bas- ketball or softball," she says, "but as a walk-on, I'll be able to do whatever I want."

made it easy for them. Andrews, who stands 5-feet-2, bats ninth this season after leading off or hitting second a year ago. "I batted ninth when I was a sopho- more, and it doesn't bother me. It's fun being on base when those big hitters are coming up. I know some- thing will happen." Miner has her down there because be feels the first, second and ninth hitters fit the same mold, and he coaches that way from personal ex- perience. "I hit first or second for years and then one year we had two burners on the team," he says. "I dropped all the way down to ninth and learned to appreciate the value of a No. 9 hitter." When Andtews steps up to the plate, she presents the appearance of the little girl at the end of the order, the one needed to fill out the roster.

spectators buzzing. In the second in- ning, she made a diving stop of a ball beaded for center field and got the force at second with a quick toss to shortstop Wendy Choisser. In the fifth, she retreated diagonal- ly toward the right-field foul line to make a diving catch of a ball that would have fallen safely. She went skidding across the line after making the catch and then received the larg- est ovation of the evening as she trotted off the field. In the sixth, she again went back, this time straight back, to easily get to a blooper that appeared to be a base bit all the way - until you saw how Andrews was playing it. By that time, the crowd was taking it all in stride. Andrews' award came in a catego- ry that is usually ignored. But this tournament committee was a little sharper than most, and then she

charged it more than I did." Furthermore, Andrews, in her third season as Madison's starting second baseman, ma,:.e only error when she was a soj,bomore and just three last year as a junior. To further emphasize that the mis- play against Simi Valley was a shocker, consider that last Saturday, Andrews was named the best defen- sive player in the 32-team Canyon tournament, which the Warhawks won by beating Fountain Valley 4-0 in the championship game. Canyon High coach Lance F.ddy, who made the awards presentation, said in essence that he and bis com- mittee bad expected making a defen- sive choice would be tough, but after watching Andrews play in the cham- pionship game, it was no contest. Andrews, a senior who turned 18 on April 2, made three defensive plays against Fountain Valley that had the
