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

Coroners recorded the death as an accidental drowning. Drumming the pulsating beats that gave The Beach Boys their steady rhythm, Wilson contri- buted years of effort to the band originally started by his broth- ers, Brian and Carl. Dennis helped create songs that sup- ported the group's namesake. As the only surfer of the group, Dennis conveyed the ideas about surfing to songwriter Brian. Ulti- mately, four singles hit national music charts. Surfin' first hit L.A. and was followed by Sur- fin' Safari, Surfin' U.S.A., and Surfer Girl. Despite the group's success, in 1969, Dennis decid- ed to release a sin- gle recorded in Eng- land.

To most Americans, news of the dollar's increased value was welcomed. This situation pro- duced good results for individual consumers as well as the nation as a whole. With a decreased rate of inflation, domestic pro- ducers purchased imported goods at lower prices. Some experts, however, stressed damaging effects of the increased value of the dollar. They warned that foreign trade would decrease because of the expense of American goods. The U.S. had expected to sell S100 billion less than it bought from foreigners in 1984. Overall, the dramatic change in value of the dollar was met with mixed blessings. While economists warned against any permanent change, consumers enjoyed the benefits of good American money.
