USD Magazine, Fall 2000

I J omecoming is traditionally a time to reminisce about the past, but for the 1,200 alumni r and friends who attended USD's Homecoming tailgate party Oct. 7, it was an occasion to ....J look ahead. With the Jenny Craig Pavilion open for tours and the new Torero logo o n display, many were as excited about the university's future as they were to catch up with old classmates. Dennis Wick '65 said the Jenny Craig Pavilion reminded him of UCLA's venerable Pauley Pavilion, and added the new Torero logo was a welcome change. "USD has all the antiquities on campus, but we need modern stuff, too," he said. "I think it's great." The 12th annual tailgate party was held before USD's 38-20 victory over Central Connecticut University in the homecoming football game, followed by individual class reunions. Sunday's Homecoming Mass included presentation of the Mother Rosalie Hill Award to Bill Scripps '83 , a trustee and head of the pavilion's fund-raising committee. The honor is given annually to recognize commitment of service to USD. "This is a perfect way to celebrate our alums coming back," said John Trifiletti '78, the university's director of major gifts,"because it is the ultimate expression of family."
