A Timeless Tradition by Dianne Ludlam

USD MAGAZINE EDITOR Tris ha J . Ratledge CONTRIBUTING EDITORS Kate Callen Jacqueline Genovese Michael R. Haskins ART DIRECTOR Visual Asylum PHOTOGRAPHERS Jim Coit Ken Jacques COVER ILLUSTRATION Troy V iss

At a time when many are looking to the future for progress, USD has wisely reached into the past. A 700-year-old tradition of academia has taken root at Alcala Park, and the faculty and stu– dents are all the better for it.

The End al Innocence by Michael P. Soroka

Some say Oliver Stone's film, "JFK," reopened an old national wound. It is probably more accurate to say that this wound never fully healed. A USD professor of sociology examines why the assassina– tion of John F. Kennedy - and of a nation's innocence - remains acutely painful even 30 years later.

Dean al Wildlile by Jacqueline Genovese

He calls himself the Dean of Wildlife, but thanks to Tom Burke's unerring wisdom and guiding hand, student life at USD has been relatively tame for the past 20 years.
