young people to "become leading cit- izens in tomorrow's world." To do that, Warren said, "Those with resources have a special obliga- tion to put back some of it into the community." Io addition to the $12 million to endow student scholarships and aid programs, $16.5 million will go to hire more faculty members and pro- vide them with travel and other study opportunities, and $2.5 million will form an unrestricted endow- ment. The university currently has a total endowment of $10 million. The rest of the funds will be ap- plied to campus building projects - $6 million to expand the campus law library; $7.5 million toward the cost of the new University Center, which already is open; and $2.5 million to convert the main thoroughfare of the campus into a pedestrian mall. An- other $500,000 will be spent for a child development center serving up to 60 2½- to 5-year-old children of USD students and employees. The law library expansion, which is being supported by almost every major law firm in the city, will dou- ble the library size and electronical- ly tie the faculty and students into a multitude of other law libraries and information sources, said Josiah L. Neeper, managing partner of Gray, Cary, Ames and Frye, and attorney tothelru,lees

To do that. said Hughes, the uni• versity will put $12 milhon of the funds raised into investments that should generate about $1 million an- nually for student grants and loans. "We have not set aside any specific amount for minority enrollment, but if necessary we will commit all of it to that purpose," Hughes said. Supporting the drive to enroll more minority students, Hughes said tliat solutions to the problems beset- ting minority people in the United States "can be found by capable men and women whose minds have been well trained and whose hearts have been nourished with th spirit of ser- vice to their communities." Ao independent but strongly Cath- olic-oriented university, USD prides itself on offering students an educa- tion that goes beyond academics to imbue a sense of community respon- sibility, Hughes said. The university has 21,000 alumni. Developer Ernest Hahn, a USD trustee, told several hundred people attending yesterday's announcement event that $21 million of the targeted $47.5 million has been raised private- ly. Members of the university's 38- member board of trustees have con- tributed $9.3 million. Campaign committee chairwoman Joanne Warren described the drive as a "new age" campaign aimed at generating the resources to educate

University of Sao Diego officials yesterday said they are prepared to make as much as $1 million a year available in financial aid to give more minority students the opportu- nity to attend the private university. The commitment came as umver- sity trustees and administrators an- nounced a $47.5 million fund-raising drive to provide new buildings and a larger endowment for USD. "We want to enroll more minority students than we have been able to thus far. A diverse student body en- riches the educational mix," USO president Author E. Hughes said. "We're willing to devote a signifi- cant amount of our endowment - $12 million - to create an annual income that will let us do that," he said. Tuition and fees at USO presently are $8,550 a year, and more than 70 percent of the undergraduates receive financial aid from some source. Since 1984, a steady 12.5 percent of USD's graduate and undergraduate students (now totaling 5,660) have been from minority groups. Universi- ty officials would like to increase that level to about 20 percent within five to 10 years, said Hughes and Bishop Leo T. Maher, chairman of the university's board of trustees.

Getting out of the WCAC 1"\ ,.., b~semeot coul_d be a brutal, bloody c!Jmb, what with all those big guys at the top. Santa Clara has a sizable front line, USF a terrific big man in 6-foot-8 Mark McCathrion, who flat outplayed frosh sensation LaPhonso Ellis of Notre Dame in USF's recent victory over the Irish. "McCathrion," Bell said, "is msane." USD matches inside with a sophomore who is 6-foot-8. Make that 6-foot-9. No, 6-9½. Seems he hasn't stopped growing. His game, on the other hand, is only beginning to r~. He's still quite raw, yet his scorrng average is in double figures and he's leading the league in ' blocked shots. His name is Ealious Dow Bell II. "Dondi was my father's favorite cartoon strip," Bell said. "He said I looked just like Doodi when I was born. I had a pretty big head, I guess, and I was nothing but hair at birth." By the time he arrived at USD however, Bell was all thumbs. H~ grew up in the South Bay with his hands wrapped around the handle bars of a BMX racing bike - riding ramps and performing freestyle maneuvers - not palming a basketball. It wasn't until Bell's senior year at Crawford High that he broke into a starting lineup. He averaged roughly 17 points and 17 rebounds but he admits he knew nothing of ' technique. Blocking out? Wasn't that something you did at the beach with sun screen? "I could run and I could jump " Bell said. "But as far as ' ballhaodling, I was pretty uncoordinated. I had pretty terrible form for the jump shot, or any shot. Defensively, I was totally lost." There's a word for recruits such as Bell: projects. Projects get yelled at a lot. Teammates yell at them when they drop passes in the most basic of drills, causing everyone to run laps, and much of the Toreros' stamina last season could be directly attributed to Bell's misses. Coaches yell at projects, too. Oh, do they. Still growing as be is, just

six rebounds. Bell and Danny Means each had 13 points, Strickland had 12. Burley scored 24 points and grab- bed six rebounds to lead Santa Clara (13-5, 2-3). Burley was five of six from three-point range and made all six of his free, throw attempts. "He's a solid player," said Santa Clara coach Carroll Williams. "He's also an excellent free throw shooter. We wanted to try to get the ball in his hands late." Williams didn't have kind words for the rest of his team. "I guess I can't complain too much," he sc1i . After all, we won but it's really frustrating when ev~ erything doesn't go well. We played very well for 30 minutes - we were very effective, and then we just stopped executing on offense and de- fense. You have to give USD credit, though. They could easily have thrown in the towel, but they didn't. They're awfully scrappy."

WCAC STANDINGS

But with 12 seconds remaining Santa Clara's senior guard Mitch Burley calmly sank two free throws to make it 67-64. Strickland made it 67-66 three seconds later by making two free throws, although he made the second one inadvertently when he tried to bounce the ball off the backboard to give bis team a change for a rebound and game-tying field goal. "I tried to miss i~ I don't know what happened," said Strickland, one of three freshmen playing a signifi- cant role for the Toreros. "I think we're starting to develop a lot of character, starting to come together We're really young, you know. It'Ii ~e some time, because you don't Just walk mto a Division I school and boo~, you're a Division I player." Still, last night's final score repre- sented improvement for USD, which h~d lost 64-58 at Santa Clara just six mghts before. In that game, the Toreros committed 26 turnovers

FACE IN THE CROWD: In Washington at a ball sponsored by the state of Indiana, Steve Garvey puzzled over a familiar face. "Don't I know you?" he asked.
