0\LPoLY REPORT California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo Crime prevention course to be offered An award-winning course that utilizes simulated crime situations is scheduled at Cal Poly on Tues­ day, Jan. 28, at 6:30 pm. The program is being presented in cooperation with the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Crime Prevention Unit. Participants will engage in role playing designed to help victims think defensively and understand their ability to resist an attack. Techniques will show how to avoid being vulnerable and how to respond to any potential dangerous situation. The Violent Crime Avoidance and Response program was named "program of the year" by the In­ ternational Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators and as "program of the year" by the California Crime Prevention Officers Association. It is one of the only crime prevention pro­ grams recommended by the FBI. Students, faculty and staff members are invited to attend. For reservations or additional informa­ tion, call Ray Berrett or Mike Ken­ nedy, Public Safety, ext. 2281. Composer, trumpeter to give Jan. 9 talk Stanley Friedman, a leading composer and trumpeter will talk today Gan. 9) as the first program in the Winter Quarter Arts and Humanities Lecture Series, spon­ sored by the School of Liberal Arts. The talk, "When History Sings: The Past Through New Opera," will be at 11 am in UU 220. Friedman's own opera, " Hypatia, " will premiere at the 1992 New Zealand International Festival of the Arts. The opera is based on a factual story of a woman scientist from the 5th century. American-born Friedman, princi­ pal trumpet with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, has also performed with the philharmonic orchestras of Hong Kong, Roches­ er and Los Angeles. Walker resigns as athletics director Dr. Kendrick Walker has resigned as the director of athletics, effec­ tive Aug. 1, 1992. Walker plans to take a one-year professional leave and then return to teach in the Philosophy Dept., where he taught from 1973 until named to the athletics post in 1985. Before leaving the Athletics Department, Walker will work with the university administration in beginning the task of reshaping Cal Poly athletics into the NCAA Division I program outlined in the recent student referendum. During Walker's seven-year tenure, Cal Poly teams have won 12 national championships - one third of the university's 36 na­ tional titles. The university's inter­ collegiate teams also have won 35 California Collegiate Athletic Association championships, and their coaches have been named NCAA coach of the year 15 times, regional coach of the year seven times, and conference coach of the year 29 times. In November, Cal Poly students approved a fee increase that will reach $43 per quarter by 1994­ raising $2.4 million annually - to support moving the university's athletics program to Division I. The full transformation is expected to take about three years. Vol. 45, No. 14, Jan. 8, 1882 LeRoy B. Hughes, 86 LeRoy Barry Hughes, Cal Poly head football coach from 1950 to 1%1, died Dec. 7 at his home in San Luis Obispo. As head coach, Hughes compiled a 72-38-1 record and captured six California Collegiate Athletic Association titles. He served as the university's athletic director in 1959-60, and was the golf coach in 1968-69. Hughes was one of the inaugural inductees into the Cal Poly Hall of Fame and Distinction in 1987. He was the coach of the 1960 Mustang football team that was in­ volved in a plane crash that killed 16 members of the team and the team manager. The accident oc­ curred shortly after takeoff from the Toledo Municipal Airport just hours after Cal Poly lost 50-6 to Bowling Green. A native of San Francisco, Hughes played football and basket­ ball at the University of Oregon, and he completed graduate work at the University of California. He began his teaching career in physical education at San Fran­ cisco High School. In 1942 he joined the U.S. Navy and was a lieutenant commander at St. Mary's Pre-Flight School. He was later transferred to the Carrier Aircraft Service Unit at Los Alami­ tos Naval Air Station. He is survived by a brother, two nephews and two nieces.

Tales of Spirits Past and Present" on Wednesday, Jan. 15. A Cal Poly Arts Special Event, the performance is scheduled for 8 pm in the Theatre. "OBAKE! Tales of Spirits Past and Present," written by Aoki, dramatizes four Japanese and Chinese ghost stories.

The stories "The Bell of Dojoji, " "Black Hair," and "Dancing in California" explore the pathos, humor and courage of women de­ fying their destiny in a hostile world; "Havoc in Heaven" lightens the evening with humor. For more than 15 years, Aoki has been presenting her distinctive blend of dance, music and dramatic narrative instilled with her modem feminist Asian-American sensibili­ ty. Her hidden resource is a rich parentage that is Japanese, Chi­ nese, Spanish and Scottish. Tickets for Aoki's concert are $10 and $8 for the public and $8 and $6 for students and senior citizens.
