Spanish chairman becomes knight By Joseph McDade Staff Writer J. Ramon Araluce-Cuenca is more than just the chairman of the department of Spanish and Portugeuse. He's a knight. Araluce-Cuenca, also chairman of the university's Institute for Hispanic Media and Culture, was knighted by the Los Angeles Consulate General of Spain last night in a ceremony held in Mudd Hall of Philosophy. He joins the order of Isabel the Catholic, a sect reserved for individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the advancement of Hispanic arts. Araluce-Cuenca was knighted with a medal primarily because of his involvement with the Institute of Hispanic Media and Culture. "USC has been highly visible in the Hispanic community through the institute. This insi-tute does a great amount of acti-vites, and one of the ways they are honored for their activites is this honor from the King of Spain," he said. "Even though this award is being bestowed upon me, I think it is begin given to the entire Hispanic community and those who have given their all in the institute. The ceremony, attended by Malaysian dignitary criticizes U.S. policy By Catalina Camia Staff Writer The foreign minister of the Southeast Asian country of Malaysia said on campus Monday that U.S. policy toward the region, while generally supported, is becoming increasingly viewed for its "lack of consistency and continuity." Before a half-filled audience in Hancock Auditorium, Tan Sri Muhammad Ghazali Shafie added that "this lack of continuity and consistency is sometimes an embarrassment to your friends." Shafie, 61, said Malaysia's relationship with the United States — hinging largely on the five-nation Association of Southeast Asian Nations — has become strained as a result of this problem. "I understand it's a result of your own troubles and your own (political) system, but at the same time you are playing the role of world leader, and we in Malaysia also regard you as the leader of the free enterprise system." Shafie emphasized that he does not want the United States to view his criticism as that of a long-standing and permanent condition but wanted to point out that Malaysia believes it is a problem that needs to be dealt with. "The United States has an alternative, perhaps after Mr. Reagan's time," he said. "But I'm not going to discuss your elections at this time, all I want to say is that you aren't providing the right kind of confidence by not being able to lead us."

Del Castillo began the presentation by honoring Araluce for his defense of Spanish values and enhancement of Spanish culture at the university. He also said that it was unfair to limit his academic resume to only Spanish activities. "The scope of activites are not only those which link him to his mother country, but one that is in the mainstream of California. He is an advocate of richness which we must not see eschewed.

Professor dies of heart attack By Joann Galardy Assistant Qty Editor Ashutosh Roy, professor of clinical, family, and emergency medicine and director of the physician's assistant training program, died Friday after suffering a heart attack off campus. Ashutosh, on campus Friday morning to attend President Zumberge's faculty address, had just left the speech and was driving down Figueroa Street when he suffered the heart attack. He went throught a red light at the 35th Street intersection and then stopped his car. University Security responded to a call for help at 8:49 a.m. and the officers, together with Emergency Medical Technicians, began to administer CPR. "The victim was pulseless and not breathing when we arrived at the scene," said security officer Steve Anderson. University Security, with the help of the Los Angeles Fire Department and an unidentified student, were able to establish "regular heart rythmn," Anderson said. However, Roy died about 30 minutes later at California Hospital. "Everyone did everything right," Anderson said. "The first hour after a heart attack is always the most critical." The 54-year-old Roy was a native of Calcutta, India. He came to the United States in 1963 and joined the university faculty in 1973. Jack Liskin, assistant director of the physicians assistant program, remembers Roy as a well-liked, deeply religious man. "He lived in a religious community. He was not only a religious person in his life- (Continued on page 2) trojan Volume XCIV, Number 26 University of Southern California Tuesday, October 11, 1983 Alumni donations up 9.6 percent this year By Carmen Chandler Assistant Qty Editor Alumni gave approximately $4,884,703 to the university during the 1982-83 fiscal year, an increase of 9.6 percent or $476,301, over the previous year. The increase was larger than university officials had expected. An increase of only $350,000 was predicted, said Richard Nordin, director of annual giving. The university actually will receive more money than that, if potential gifts from the James Irvine Foundation, a private philanthropic organization, are counted. Under the terms of an agreement made last year, the foundation will match any increases in alumni giving, administrators said. The foundation, which is financed by stocks contributed by the Irvine Ranch, will match dollar for dollar any money pledged by recent alumni—former students who attended the university after 1967—that exceeds the total alumni donations during 1981-82, which university officials estimated to be $4.4 million. For those students who attended the university before 1967, the foundation will pay 50 cents for ever dollar increase in donations. Similar challenges were made to 21 other private universities and colleges in California as an incentive to encourage contributions and participation by alum- ni. 1982-83 was the first year of the challenge. As an added incentive, the fbundation said if there is an increase of 10 percent or more in financial gifts it will pay $25 for each new alumni dollar. The university fell short by just 0.4 percent this year. However, President James Zumberge said he was pleased with the university's progress. "It's exactly doing what the Irvine challenge was designed to do," Zumberge said. "I think that in alumni giving we are going to see improvements that will be surviving indefinitely." Roger Olson, senior vice president of university relations, agreed and added that it helped the university's relations across the country. "When we get back east and they ask us what is being done for you in your own backyard we can point to this," Olson said. Originally, the university had set the first year goal at $600,000, but after making mid-year adjustments, the university reduced its goal to $350,000, said Nordin. "We're realistic," he said. However, Nordin said this year, the second year of the challenge, the university's goal will be ambitious—$1 million. Nordin said he thinks the university will be able to meet its goal of $1 million (Continued on page 2) Fences have become as commonplace due to campus construction this semester.
