LEAVEY officially opens In January of 1975, Santa Clara witnessed the inflation of one of the world ' s most unique structures—a student activities center with an air-supported roof. The building became both a milestone in engineering ingenuity and one of the ost versatile activities center ever designed. Finally, In October of 1975, the interior of the center was completed and ready for dedication. Hundreds of alumni, including many former Santa Clara atheletes, came to the dedication ceremony which coincided with the University ' s Homecoming game against Davis. The three primary contributors to the center—Benjamin H. Swig, Thomas E. Leavey, and IHarold J. Toso— gave dedication speeches in the main gym. The Santa Clara student body awarded Thomas E. Leavey and IHarold J. Toso with plaques commemorating the structures, whcih bear their names, The Leavey Activities Center and the Toso Pavilion. Designed specifically for Santa Clara students, the center offers a competition-sized swimming pool, a basketball court, handball and volleyball courts, sauna and steam rooms, weight and training rooms, plus ample locker and shower facilities as well as the Athletic Department ' s offices.

professor c.s.st:eoer3s of Cambridge Me talked for two hours. Some people tallied this up as $750 an hour and let i go at that. He talked for two hours. Some people shook their heads sadly for two hours and let it go at that. He talked for two hours. Some people noted that whatever else was said, the fact remained that an overflow crowd packed Benson Center and stayed for the entire talk. He is Dick Gregory, combination comedian and pol- itical activist, and if that combination is unusual, well, so is the man and so is his message. He talked for two hours on the programming on us all by the super-rich in the form of television and movies. They can trick you! he sa d. By they he meant the conspiracy of the super-rich and the Army, CIA, the police and government forces in general. By tricking he meant the corruptive influences of worthless dreams and money trips which subvert our own personal interests and dreams. dick GREGORY Id He warned the audience of the government ' s more overt at- tempts at behavior modifica- tion : the Vacaville state prison, which spawned the Symbionese Liberation Army, was such a behavior modification center, and another larger center in Wiscon- sin trained the assassins of President Kennedy. He cited the recent cases of Patty Hearst, Lynette Squeaky Fromme and Sara Jane Moore as examples of behavior-modification victims. And in the end he maintained that it is the young who can topple the super-rich, by resisting the influences of money and by gathering the moral forces that cannot be bought: truth, honesty, integrity. He advocated a dedication to service; the super-rich have a healthy respect for those who can give themselves away for free; in this way—and only in this way-that the super-rich can be frustrated in their desire to rule the country.
