              University raises $5.8 million
More than $5.8 million,
deemed critically necessary
tor the Priority Needs Phase
0f the University's Second
Century program, has been
,-aised according to a report
jUst released by the Second
Century Committee.
Combined efforts of University officials and more than
100 business and community
leaders worked from Jan. 1,
1961 to the first of last month
to meet and pass a three year
objective of $5.5 million. The
total commitments amounted
to $5,817,685 from funds received, interest gained, Fed
eral grants and pledges.
The aim of the Prriority
Needs Phase, according to the
eport, was "to meet immediate and pressing needs which
had to be satisfied before a
program of general academic
enrichment could be inaugurated."
"The primary assignment of
the funds was to cover the
construction of two buildings,
a school of law and a science
center. The balance was earmarked to meet increased operational expenses incurred
through an acceleration of academic strengthening during
the three-year campaign peri
od," the report stated.
Already completed is one

named after Charles Kendrick, Co-chairman of the Second Century Committee. The
building cost  was $1,565,000.
The Harney Science Center,
now under construction, is
scheduled for completion for
the end of this year. The cost
will be $3,200,000.
From June of 1962 to the
end of this year, $731,676 will
have been earmarked for "ac
ademic strengthening and increased operational expense."
The report continues: "Exceptional teachers have been
adedd to the University faculty, new academic programs
have been introduced, and
faculty salary and benefits increased significantly."
When the program was begun, in 1961, "It was truly
said that this Priority Needs
Phase would be a turning
point in the 107-year history of
point in the 107-year history
of the University. Its success
was a critical necessity . . .
Not only does the success of
this Priority Needs campaign
hold practical importance for
the University and its future,
but also it provides reassurance and an added measure of
dedication to the task ahead,"
the report said.
Beside the enterprise involved in raising such an
amount, the cost of reaching
the more than $5.8 million sum
was unusually small. One per
cent or $58,176.85 was used to
reach the goal. Similar fund
raising efforts involving professional fund raising organizations, many secretaries and
assistants cost as much as ten
per cent of the total commitments.

Editorial-
Our purpose
The University of San Francisco decided it's intention
to meet the challenge of the future when it innagurated
the Second Century Program. The Uiversity is committed
to fulfill it's potenti-al as .an active force in shaping the
future. This effort is informed and strengthened by the
Christian ideals upon which she was founded and which
underlie her very decision and action.
But only recently have words such as commitment, involvement, .and community, hall marks of the Second Century Progr.am, taken on meaning for the student. During
the past semester, student, .as well as faculty and administration, have become more fully conscious of ther responsibility to meet the challenge of the University's commitment to excellence.
It is precisely this commitment and this commitment
alone which gives purpose and direction to the individual
and collective activity of the members of the University
community. Indeed, the reality of "community" at USF
will only be achieved when the values and goals of the
Second Century commitment are internalized and acted
°ut by each individual member and constituent department in the University.
A more clearly defined statement of the University's
commitment is forthcoming in the Fall with the announcement of the Long Range Plan. The Plan, will dictate the
Profile .and essence of the University of the future and
specify its academic plans, its physical .and operational
•leeds.
.We are all happy to leam that the Long Range Plan
will be made public in the Fall. We are proud to hear of
jjje success of the recently completed Priority Needs
Phase. The communication of the University's goals and
tr>e success which is greeting her efforts is essential if
each member of the community is to make a purposeful
contribution, a proud contribution. But we cannot wait
Un-til Fall to discover the meaning of the role we must
P'ay today. We cannot waste a day in purposeless activity.
rne challenge must be met now.

A group of USF students headed by Frank Gabrian. Kathy

the Latin American students
in the city is the highest for
any national group." they

plan to conduct a survey and
census in the Mission District
tomorrow. Later on, study
halls for the children and.

up a grant-in-aid for the education of Latin American communities in California.
"Our aim is to learn the

American children here in the
city and to make their assimilation into American society
easier and more profitable "
