pleased by the amount raised because it came following a major fundraising campaign, after which donations usually drop off considerably.
"For a post-campaign year, that really was a marvelous result. It represents the quality effort by our staff and, I might add, the quality of this university," said Appleton.
Of the $54.4 million raised last fiscal year, about $21 million was donated by individuals and about $14 million was donated by corporations. The remaining $19 million was donated by foundations, societies and associations.

issues and answers
Hartnack, 67, has earned his living with Security Pacific National Bank for more than 40 years, starting out as an errand boy and eventually climbing the ladder to president and chief executive officer. He is now chairman of the bank’s international board.
A straight-talking man who avoids bureaucratic jargon, Hartnack is known by his colleagues for his ability to sell and persuade. His informality is at times unsettling, considering this man has dined with U.S. presidents and regularly confers with foreign dignitaries.
His life would be considered by many to be the all-American success story. Raised during the Great Depression as the son of a brewery manager, Hartnack had to skip college to help out his family. Altiwugh he eventually earned degrees at the University of Washington and the
American Institute of Banking, he missed out on the college experience as most students know it.
However, he said this set of circumstances instilled in him a deep commitment to education, and when he was approached by the university to become a trustee, he considered it an honor and a duty.
Hartnack joined the Board of Trustees in 1975 and has been a powerful force on the 42-member body ever since. He was influential in bringing President James Zumberge to the university in 1980, and a short time later, he was unanimously selected as chairman of the board.
In his role as a trustee, Hartnack's job is not to attend to the day by day decision making on campus, but rather to set general policies, make sure the university remains fi-(Continued on page 5)

Almost $9 million in donations has been raised by the university thus far into the 1983-84 fiscal year and university officials expect that number to rise to approximately $57 million by the end of the fiscal year.
If that prediction holds true, it would be the second-best fund raising year ever for the university, a prospect which has university officials brimming with optimism.
"An effort like that would keep us among the top 10 universities in fundraising," said James Appleton, vice president of development. "If things continue like we expect, we'll stay in that select group for the rest of the decade."
Appleton hopes that by the end of 1990, the university will be raising up to $100 million annually. Currently, only two universities, Harvard and Stanford, come near that figure.
"I think the future bodes well for USC," said Appleton. "Over the years our fundraising largely has been on an upward path. I expect that trend to continue."
In the 1982-83 fiscal year which ended June 30, the university raised more than $54.4 million in donations, and although that figure was down from the previous year's record-setting $57.8 million, it was still the third-best fund raising year in the university's history.

A pragmatic and informal Trustee chair

From the window of his 53rd-floor office in downtown Los Angeles, Carl Hartnack likes to scan the horizon and point out the sights. "There’s Dodger Stadium, and that's Griffith Park. Right below us is the only empty lot left here in the financial district." If Hartnack looks hard enough, he can see the area — 1st Street and Main Street — where he grew up during the 1930s. And then if he really cranes his neck, he can see the university where he serves as chairman of the Board of Trustees.
Senate to organize T.A. training, forum
By Catalina Camia
Staff Writer
The Student Senate, in conjunction with the university, will organize a training program for all teaching assistants to provide instruction on all facets of teaching and a forum to practice those newly acquired skills.
In a resolution passed yesterday, the senate called the existing methods for training teaching assistants "inadequate."
Teaching assistants, particularly those who are foreign students, have been criticized on teaching abilities. Students have complained that many teaching assistants are poorly versed in the English language.
Sharon Dolezal, chairperson of the academic affairs research unit and co-author of the resolution, explained the existing program consists of a two-hour orientation at the beginning of the year, with no emphasis placed on a particular skill.
The senate would like to see a program implemented where instruction in lecturing, leading group discussions, assigning grades and various other skills are taught to the graduate students who will become teaching assistants.
The seminars would be available to all teaching assistants, and not limited to foreign students, said Dolezal.
Forums for the teaching assistants will also be provided through the seminars, where the skills learned can be practiced.
The senate is requesting that the university fund and help sponsor the project.
"We're not just saying 'please establish'," said Dolezal. "The senate will help organize, but we will ask the university to fund the project."
David Massie, graduate vice president and co-author of the resolution, said he has been in contact with Irwin Lieb, dean of the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences, who will help organize the administration's portion of the program.
The academic affairs research action unit has the responsibility to organize and petition funds from the university for the program.
Although contributions from corporations climbed more than $4 million over last year, there was actually a drop in contributions from alumni of about $1 million. Appleton said this decrease occurred because gifts tended to be smaller, not because fewer alumni donated.
"Actually, more alumni gave to the university this year than last year, jumping from 53,000 to 57,000," he said.
Partly responsible for the increase in the number of alumni giving to the university was improved alumni records, said Mary Dewey, director of administrative programs for university relations and development. Dewey, the person in charge of alumni records, said that as recently as last year 45 percent of the alumni were "lost" — that is, the university
did not have the current addresses of those alumni. But this year, just 22 percent are still out of contact with the university, she said.
"Certainly, by having contact with more alumni we were able to raise more money," said Appleton.
Appleton said donated money will continue to go toward construction and renovation projects. However, he said money used going toward academic areas, such as faculty, new chairs, endowments, and the library, is increasing.
"I don't see a reduction in capital projects. You only have to open your eyes and look at all the construction to realize that. But more money will go toward areas that will improve the university academically," Appleton said.
