(Coatl • ued fromPage B-1) The university has seminary stu- dents studying for µie priesthood, but they attend academic clas;es with Protestal\ts, Jews, Moslems and anyone else on campus. Of the 26 buildrngs on the grounds, the Catholic Church owns only two, the Immaculata Church and the chan- cery across from It. The rest are owned by the university itseU, a private corporation with a board of trustees made up almost entirely of lay people. As for the rich kids, more than half the student body is on some

fonn of financial aid . Tuition i\ $3,250 a year, up 11 percent over laSI year. At a time when students nation• wide are showing keen interest in career training over disciplines like literature and philosophy, USD defi- antly places its emphasis on the liberal arts rather than technical skills. Even its venerable-looking Span• lsh Renaissance architecture re- flects the school's calculated individ- uality. The founders of USO deliber• ately shied away from the concrete- glass-and-steel box architectural

syndrome, which has dominated building designs since the end of World War II. Instead, they insisted on a style dominated by arches, ornate wall decorations and a perva- sive feeling of instant heritage. "We're supersensitive about our identity," Hughes said. "If all we're going to be is a carbon-copy of UCSD or (San Diego) State, why in God's name should anybody come here and pay all this money?" It's expensive, demanding and growing. At a lime when San Diego State and other public universities are struggling to maintain enough full-time students to keep their budgets up, USD's student popula- tion as well as the number of full- time students has been growing - 52 percent over the last five years. In fact, the school is fast ap- proaching the point at which it in- tends to STOP growing. "We'll probably reach around 5,000 students by 1985 and that'll be it," said Hughes. "We think 5,000 is an adequate-sized student body to support the components of the uni- versity we have right now." USO is unconventional in other ways. Administrators invite students to complain about policy and proce- dures that they don't like, an invita- tion easy to accept on this campus. Easy because or the compactness of the campu and also because DeSaJes Hall, which houses universi- ty administration, also holds three floors of donnitories above it. So, a male resident can peer down direct- ly into Hughes' office from a balcony above In the era of the "commuter campus," USD encourages its stu- dents to Ii 11e on the grounds and about a third do. Another 50 or so who cannot be boarded on campus are put up in a motel near Old Town, not far from the school, while more dorms are being built. Hughes is Catholic, but his college training is in business rather than religion. One of his top lieutenants, Sister Sally Furay, has made a personal specialty of women's rights. The school teaches religion, even requires it or students. But it is taught as an academic discipline rather than dogma. And all of the world's major religions are studied, not just Catholicism. "The study of religion is really the study of how mankind has dealt with a superior being, Just as philosophy is the study of how manklnd has dealt with who and how we are and how we got here," said Sister Sally, who is president, university vice president and provost. But for all USD's inviting credi- tials, students like Randall Fong of Honolulu, who did his undergraduate work at the University of Hawaii before corning to USD for graduate study in education, the small-town atmosphere is still especially impressive.

"A lot of my classes at Hawaii were in large auditoriums," he recalled. "It was a rare thing for the teachers to know your name." USO faculty learn the names of incoming freshmen during the first few days. Freshmen who have de- clared their major course of study are assigned to faculty "preceptors" within that discipline who act as

their advisers for their first year of college. Freshmen without declared majors also get preceptors for their first year. Most classes are kept small and there are no TA's (teaching assist- ants). Instructors teach their own classes, in person, unlike large schools. "We're primarily a teachmg insti-

tution rather than a research institu- tion," said Thomas Burke, dean of students and athletic director. "Our faculty is evaluated here more strongly on teaching than any other criteria." When it opened in 1952, USD was divided into a school for men and one for women. (Continued on B-9, Col. I)

to cooperate, colleges (within the university) that didn't want to lose their autonomy, but that was all worked out as we went along." The fonnal merger occurred in 1972. Today, the university is looking for added endowments - as are its public counterparts- to supplement the tuition it already charges, open- ing new graduate-level programs in

law, planning for more in business, and hoping to build an academic reputation to extend beyond San Diego County or Southern Califorma. But it's a slow process, Hughes says: "The stature or a university is evolutionary Our intent is to make an institution of unifonnly high qual- ity. But I don't expect to see it in my lifetime. It takes longer than that.''

"There were two of almost every- thing," a university spokeswoman said, "two cafetenas, two of almost every academic department. But not two busrness departments, women weren't bemg taught business in those days." The main campus street, Marian Way, was a virtual border. But, by 1967, after the historic Catholic conclave known as Vatican II had cleared the way for a liberal- ization of Catholic institutions, USO students began a grassroots drive . toward a merger of the two schools, crossing the street to take classes. Gradually, the faculties, adminis- tration and then the separate boards of trustees consolidated, culminating in 1971, when Hughes was chosen as the president of a single University of San Diego. "Our merger Is unusual in that it came from the bottom up instead of the top down," said Sister Sally.
