Richard Coz, SJ. University Communications U I lty C l tl hen two former Uni- 1 versity Presidents died in March, Santa Clara not only lost University fleaders, but community leaders las well. Patrick Donohoe, S.J., land Thomas D. Terry, S.J., were not very familiar to the current istudent body, but their past lachievements, both at the Uni- lversity and in the larger commu- mity, were well-known. 1 Fr. Donohoe was the Universi- qty President from 1958 to 1968. During his ten-year administra- tion, the Santa Clara campus underwent major changes that were due largely to Fr. Dono- hoe's persistent and open mind- ed approach. A massive S13 mil- lion building program was begun that gave the University much of its present look. Dunne Hall, Graham Complex, Leavey Ac- tivities Center, Sullivan Engi- neering Complex, Buck Shaw Stadium, Orradre Library, Hea- fey Law Library, and Benson Center were added, considerably enlarging the capabilities and the size of the school. Women were admitted to the school for the first time and business and engineering graduate programs were instituted. Donohoe's services didn't end with his presidency. Following his term at the University, he was named as provincial of the California Jesuits. This new role saw Fr. Donohoe pursuing bene- ficial Jesuit activities in the four western states. After three years, in 1971, Fr. Donohoe returned to the University and became its Chancellor. Fr. Donohoe died at age 69 after a long illness in ear- ly February. Fr. Terry, took over the presi- dency after Fr. Donohoe and re- mained in this role until 1976. Like Fr. Donohoe, Fr. Terry was responsible for renovation of the Mission Campus. However, he was most noted for his improve- melnt of the academic programs. Four Jesuit During his term, Fr. Terry insti- tuted two new degree programs, one in fine arts in 1971 and one in music in 1973. After Fr. Terry's, health began to wane, he resigned as president and went on to direct projects by California Jesuits. Fr. Terry then went on to an- other area of interest, wine, and became president of the Novi- tiate winery. Fermentation tanks, which were still in use at the time of his Novitiate Presi- dency, had been designed by him 20 years earlier. In 1981, Fr. Terry returned to the University and began coun- seling law students as a member of campus ministry. Fr. Terry's diverse history of University and community service came to an end with his death in late Feb- ruary. He was 61. Julia La varom' Junior history major ll Vlfl OYDITIUII Cl Ofll News

Marines Invade Grenada While America recovered from the mas- sacre of 219 Marines in Beirut, 1,900 U.S. Marines and Army Rangers invaded the tiny island nation of Grenada on October 23. The reason, according to the Reagan adminis- tration was to protect American citizens and re- store democracy. About 1,000 American civilians, mostly stu- dents at St. George's University Medical School, were on the island when the radical leftist Gen. Hudson Austin seized power from the existing Marxist government. Austin executed prime minister Maurice Bishop on October 19. After the U.S. invasion, mop-up operations began by a force that eventually totaled 6,000, including members of the crack 82nd Airborne. Safe transportation of the weary but relieved Americans was ensured. Although the invasion was successful, with a minimal loss of American military personnel, and although the operation took place at the re- quest of six of Grenada's neighbors, members of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States, the invasion met with mixed criticism. While protesters staged a sit-in in the crown of the Statue of Liberty and others declared Grenada another Vietnam, members of Con- gress called the invasion a modern version of gunboat diplomacy and said that the U.S. could not force democracy with the tip of a bayonet. Another congressman said the inva- sion would be viewed in retrospect as one of the United States' finest hours. While Reagan said that strategic interests were not a factor in the decision to invade Grenada, others speculated that the administra- ti0n feared Grenada's main airport - expanded by Cuban construction workers and Soviet tech- nicians - would be used to support Fidel Cas- tro's foreign activities in El Salvador and Cen- tral'America. Rene Roma Junior English major 2 Student Life wo priests who were known for their friendli- ness and warmth to stu- dents died within a month of each other in October and No- vember. Students, faculty, and alumni mourned the deaths of Pat Carrol, S.J., and Felton O'Toole, S.J. Fr. Carroll was known on campus as a lover of all things Irish, and a friend to every stu- dent who came in contact with him. His Christmas cards and St. Patrick's Day masses were special experiences shared by hundreds of people. Fr. Carroll also had the ability to maintain a unique relationship with each person he met. Fr. Carroll had a great concern for athletics and, in particular, the scholar-athlete. He attended as many athletic events as he could, whether they were inter- collegiate, club sport, or intra- murals. But his most visible characteristic was his committ- ment to the Jesuit order. He seemed to be happiest when he carried out his priestly duties. SCU Publlclilonl Whenever he married a couple or baptized a child, his face would light up with that huge Irish smile. Most of all, Fr. Carroll had a great ability to love. He would always greet you with a chest-crushing hug or that finger breaking hand- shake. Fr. Carroll always made you feel special. Felton O'Toole, S.J., was not as well known by the student community, but those that re- membered him, thought of him fondly. The students who knew Fr. O'Toole remembered him for his willingness to talk and for the small parties he would have in his room. According to one of his students, Fr. O'Toole tried to make what was then a rigid sys- tem more humane and for this he was greatly missed. Eric Christenson Senior economics major Julia Lavaroni Junior history major SCU Mourn
