April 5, after being named as the 1985-86 Dons' head basketball coach.. 84-'85 Enrollment Skyrockets Combating the nation-wide trend of decreasing liberal arts enrollments, the USF Office of Academic Services, headed by Eugene Muscat, has launched an extensive recruitment campaign that has seen remarkable accomplishments. As of this past Tuesday the Admissions Office has witnessed a 34% increase in liberal arts applications over last year's mark. In fact, there has been a 229c increase in applications for the entire University. It was also reported that the number of applications that have been already accepted is up 43% university-wide. "The first impression some people get is that we have lowered our standards," explained Muscat. "But that is not the case at all. The reason for the increase in accep- . tances is because: 1) we are processing the applications faster, and 2) we are attracting better caliber students." Muscat believes he has accomplished this by directing his recruitment efforts more towards the private high schools that traditionally produce a better quality student. He cites several reasons for the impressive jump in liberal arts prospects. New Program Reaches Out To Neglected Students By MATTHEW O'NEILL The USF Office of Academic Affairs' newest program, The Special Admissions Program, is now underway on its task of providing better services to the neglected populations of prospective USF students. The Special Admissions Program' was designed to rejuvenate interest in some of USF's unique educational programs. Dr. Eugen Muscat, Director of Academic- Services, cited that the role of the University is to serve the City. This new program was initiated just for this reason, to serve the community better. With this program, many more people will have the chance to attend USF. Ernest Reyes, the former direc tor of admissions, will head the new program as director and counselor. Mr. Reyes, a graduate of USF's evening school, was chosen by Dr. Muscat because, having been a student in these programs, he knows the problems they have. Dr. Muscat said, "During the 18 months I've been here, Mr. Reyes has come to me several times with proposals and petitions concerning the special needs of these programs. '' As the director of this new program he will now be able to carry out his plans. The new program will be concerned with the groups of people who haven't been serviced as much as they should have been in the past. Among these groups will be the part-time students, the evening school students, minority students. PLEASE TURN TO BACK PAGE. "First, because we are recruiting from the better schools, both public and private. We are finding students interested in a traditional liberal arts education." Muscat's office has also concentrated its drive on incoming freshman rather than transfer students. "We want the student to stay here for four years. If you bring in a transfer student, you often find that he has already satisfied his GEC requirements and that will not build a liberal arts program." A focus on domestic rather than international students is also a contributing factor according to the admissions head. "It is a known fact that international students do not typically major in liberal arts." 'One of the things we have stressed hs been a 'Focus on Excellence." We have been looking for and receiving better students. Last year we accepted one national merit scholar. This year we have had applications from four. The better students tend to be liberal arts students." Muscat credits the volunteer work of faculty, administration and alumni for assisting in his enrollment efforts by being involved in the "USF Advocate Program." As faculty members and administrators visit local high schools and organize open houses and lecture series for potential students, alumni from all over the U.S. are calling and congratulating accepted students. •. "Even Fr. Dullea is on the phone to students," commented Muscat. "What a nice touch when the Chancellor of the University calls and congratulates a student." Introduced At Press Conference Last Thursday Brovelli Named As Basketball Coach By JEFF Mill I R In putting all speculation to rest, USF's athletic director Fr. Robert Sunderland announced last Thursday that University of San Diego coach Jim Brovelli will be returning to his alma mater to guide the revival of men's basketball on the Hilltop. Brovelli, signed to a five year contract, was welcomed as the new coach during a press conference attended by over one hundred students. Fr. Sunderland confirmed the fact that Brovelli had been considered the frontrunner for the job. Sunderland stated that he saw Brovelli as a man with the necessary character and perspective to build on USF's great basketball tradition, without resorting to cheating or unethical activities. Sunderland said that his selection committee was unanimous in its support for Brovelli, who will take over a team that will play its first game in the fall of 1985. "I know they recommended him because of his record as a developer of talent, a competitor, and an extremely sound tactician," said Sunderland. Brovelli knows the Bay Area and he knows USF. He was named San Francisco Player of the Year as a senior for St. Ignatius in 1960. Brovelli went on to USF where he was a starting point guard and graduated in 1964. He has coached at several Bay Area high schools and has many alumni contacts. But Brovelli's most impressive qualification is his performance at USD.
