In Burke, it got that as well as a compassionate guide and "the nicest man in shoe leather," as one colleague described him. Not only has he steered student affairs through phenomenal growth - including the addition of four residence halls, an award-winning dining service and catering operation, a university student center and a Division I athletic program - but, with his faith and humor, Burke has shaped the very spirit of the division. Through it all, this vice president for student affairs and dean of students has never forgotten the reason his division exists: to serve the students. Burke lives by his ow1;1 credo that service is para­ mount, and his door is always open to students. After all, he says, "Students don't come back to see buildings. They come back to see people." In our cover story, we celebrate Burke's 20 years as "Dean of Wildlife," and we look forward to many more. As the student affairs division has matured, so too has the academic side of the university. This year, USD reached a milestone: five endowed chairs - professorships fully funded by donations - are either operational or committed. "A Time­ less Tradition" illustrates how these positions enrich life at USD for both faculty and students. Finally, in this issue, we remember the day - rather, the instant - our nation matured, when an assassin's fatal gunshots rang out in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963. In "The End of Innocence," one man explores the impact of the John F. Kennedy assassination on himself, on our nation and on a generation that is unified by the question "Where were you when you heard that Kennedy had been shot?" D N T E N T s

MAGAZINE A TIMELESS TRADITION

700-year-old tradition has taken root at the University by Dianne Ludlam of San Diego, and the faculty and students are all the better for it. This tradition of academia, which origi­ nated in the Middle Ages to recognize and reward excellence in teaching, exists today at USD in the form of five endowed chairs - professorships fully funded by donations. A landmark achievement in the university's 44-year history, the five chairs are either opera­ tional or committed. The operational chairs are: the DeForest Strunk Chair of Special Edu­ cation, a rotating position in the School of Education; the Price Chair of Public Interest Law, held by Robert C. Fellmeth in the School of Law; and the Ernest W. Hahn Chair of Real Estate Finance in the School of Business Administration, occupied for the first time this semester by Mark J. Riedy. The remaining two chairs are not yet fully funded or operational - the Fletcher Jones Chair of Biology is expected to be fully funded by 1996, and the fifth chair, also in the College of Arts and Sciences, is to be funded by the estate of Churchill and Mary Knapp.

ndowed chairs were used in academic institutions throughout ancient Europe and have continued to play an important role in institutions of higher learning. A fledgling University of Paris got its start in the 13th century with professors At a time when many whose salaries were paid by the church.

During the 16th century, endowed reached into the past. positions became known as "chairs" in England. At the time, commoners sat on stools; kings and bishops in chairs. When a worthy teacher received the rank of professor, with a life income provided by the king or bishop, he also received a physical chair - a symbol of his status. The term continues to be used as a symbol of distinction.

:1.0 I u s o MAGAZINE Afeer the requiem Mass at St. Matthew's Roman Catholic Cathedral, John F. Kennedy Jr. saluted the caisson bearing his father's casket. Standing beside him were his mother, Jacqueline, and his sister, Caroline.

As president, he would do for the country what the country had done for him. Long before Jimmy Carter pledged to bring a new vision to the drab and stale corridors of government, Kennedy appeared poised to do just that, to sweep away the old and bring in the new. In effect, he became a living icon, a flesh­ and-blood representation of all that was good and promising about postwar America. Though not himself a bona fide member of the baby boom genera­ tion, he and his family became symbols for what the members of that generation aspired to be. The fact that Kennedy's image may have been more a reflection of a public relations ideal than of reality in no way diminished its impact on a generation poised on the threshold of adulthood. For the most part, the calculated behind­ the-scenes work of what we would now call the Kennedy "spin doctors" went unnoticed by all but a few people. As far as anyone knew, this was the real John F. Kennedy, a person we could admire and live our lives through until we had attained our own "great expectations."

Dean of Wildlife, but thanks to Tom

Burke's unerring wisdom and guiding few years ago, Tom Burke got word that a fraternity on campus was planning an hand, student life at unsanctioned event at a hotel in Palm Springs. So USD's vice president for student affairs and USD has been dean of students defused the problem in his usual style: He "leaked" the news to students that he and his wife, Barbara, would be enjoying the weekend at that relatively tame for very same hotel. USO President Author E. Hughes throws back his head and laughs when he hears that story. "That sounds like Tom," he the past 10 years. comments. "There is nobody who knows the mind of an 18- to 22-year-old better than Tom Burke." That knowledge is something Burke has earned during a 35-year career in student affairs. During that time, Burke, 57, has seen college campuses grapple with the civil rights movement, the sexual revolution, anti-war protests, cynicism, apathy, and drug and alcohol abuse. In short, there isn't much Burke hasn't seen or heard. That's why his continuing compassion for students and calm, optimistic outlook are viewed with wonder and enormous grati­ tude by almost everyone connected with USO. "I couldn't do his job," Hughes admits, shaking his head. "It has to be tough when what you're dealing with constantly are the neg­ atives - the mistakes students make or the complaints people have." Rudy Spano, USD's director of dining services, echoes Hughes' assessment and adds his own tongue-in-cheek view of what he sees as a nearly impossible job. "I think when universities were first started, whoever was in charge took all the areas that nobody else wanted, like dining services, the health center, housing, athletics and student discipline, and stuck them all in one area and called it 'Student Affairs,'" he laughs. "Really, if you look at it, Burke's division probably has all the worst headaches and nightmares."

U S D M A G A Z I N E 113 On a trip to Italy in 1993, Barbara and Tom Burke met Pope John Paul II.

ARMED WITH FAITH AND HUMOR So how does this bear of a man - who introduces himself to parents as the "Dean of Wildlife," and who this past June celebrated his 20-year anniversary at USO - stay sane in such a high-pressure, potentially high-burnout job? l Burke's friends and colleagues offer two answers: his faith in God and his sense of humor. "Being Catholic isn't something Tom brings to the job. It's who he is," says Skip Walsh, USD's director of residence life and assistant dean. "You just can't separate the two. His Christianity is reflected in the way he treats people and in every decision he makes."

But Burke's spirituality is not preachy or theologically high­ Sister Furay notes that when Burke arrived, he had just spent brow. "The message of the gospels is simple," he says.

"He said his job Burke credits his parents with bringing him up "so Catholic" involved a lot of travel away from home and he didn't think that he didn't have a choice in the values he'd end up with.

"There are no such things as problems, only opportunities." It was Father O'Donnell, says Burke, who introduced him to The job at USO must have seemed chock-full of opportunities. the concept of "dry wit."

In this day and time, that's something to be proud of." But Burke's attributes can't be summed up with one or two anecdotes. His faith and his humor have shaped the very spirit From Burke's perspective, accepting the job at USO gave him of the non-academic side of the university. a chance to get in on the ground floor of something exciting. "I liked the challenge of being involved with a developing univer­ When Burke arrived at USO in 1973, after serving as dean of sity - one that didn't quite have an identity yet - and the students and vice president of student affairs at Creighton Uni­ prospect of taking part in the formation of that identity." versity and as assistant dean at Marquette, the student affairs division consisted of three staff members, two residence halls, a If Burke wasn't daunted by the challenges facing him at USO, fledgling recreation and athletics program and, by all accounts, it was because he already had a track record for solving prob­ "horrible" cafeteria food provided by an outside vendor. lems and getting things done, says Father James O'Leary, S.J., a USO professor and Burke colleague. "I had heard about Tom Burke before I even came to USO,'' he explains. "I was at Marquette after Tom left, and all I ever heard from those Jesuits was, 'I wish Burke was here. He would know what to do. He'd know how to handle this.'" John Trifiletti, USD's director of alumni relations, says Burke's epitaph should be, "He built.'' a ,

Under Burke's leadership, the university has added four residence halls, an award-winning dining service and catering operation, a university student center, a Division I athletic program and numerous student services including drug and That yearbook isn't the first time Burke has appeared in a alcohol education, AIDS awareness and an international student publication.

Those student mistakes run the gamut, from tossing objects But another facet of the job, the serious issues Burke faces in off the dorm balcony to causing thousands of dollars worth of student affairs, often is troubling.

"I remember one of the first things he said to me was, 'If pained in a way that didn't seem possible just 10 years ago.'' a student comes to you for help and you can't help them, don't just tell them where they need to go. Walk them there.' He's always available to a student if they need to see him.'' In Burke's mind, service is paramount. "Students don't come back to see buildings," he reasons. "They come back to see people.'' Hughes says he has seen student affairs operations at many universities that operate with very different philosophies. "In some, students' actions are very controlled, and others are the opposite, where the dean wants to be a buddy to the students. Tom isn't here to be their buddy. He's here as a mentor, a counselor and a guide, but not as a buddy.'' Perhaps the ultimate compliment for a man in Burke's position is to be thought of as fair, and that is one of the first words students use to describe him. "With Dean Burke, you know he will always listen to you," says Valerie Attisha, a USD senior. "He may not always say what you want to hear, but he's fair, and he'll try his best for you.'' "That's really something, when you consider that nobody ever knows all the different factors that go into the decisions ( Tom has to make," says Hughes. "To be perceived as fair in my mind is quite an accomplishment.'' Turning problems into opportunities In 1991, the students showed their appreciation by dedicat- ing the yearbook to him with the words, "Based on his example during the past 20 years at USD, of complete dedication to his profession and community, he Burke (far right) has developed a instills loyalty and dedication in those who work for him ....

Spano believes that Burke particularly personifies one of When Burke hears the praise others have for him, he those truths. "One of the messages of Christianity is that we becomes slightly embarrassed and shifts in his chair. "Really, must put others first and live our Christianity unconditionally, there's no great magic to what I do," he contends. "You know, which means we have to take ourselves out of the equation some days I'm just lucky to make it to 5 o'clock!" when we deal with people. Tom's achieved that. He doesn't On days like that, days when Burke drily remarks, "It felt like look at problems and say, 'This is going to be a major headache Thursday all week," he realizes his staff has had it rough, too. for me,' or 'This is making my life miserable,'" Spano says.

Part of the reason people feel confident around Burke is his That attitude explains why the people who work for Burke absolute candor.

"People, especially students, appreciate it when you're direct with them.

Burke trusted his instincts, despite protests from some A HERO'S HEROES coaches. "They said, 'Well, what if one of the players gets a groin pull?'" he remembers with a bemused chuckle. "I told When listening to problems becomes too overwhelming, them, 'Half the doctors in the world are women; they deal with Burke finds refuge in his home life.

Burke describes his father, who has lived with Barbara and "There I was, 24 years old, and I barely came up to his ribs!" him for the past 18 years, as a "gentle man and a gentleman.'' she laughs. "I was so nervous. I just kept saying, 'I'll try my As Burke describes the three most important things his father hardest; I'll do my best.'" taught him, it's obvious that he learned those lessons well. "My dad always said, 'Treat everyone you meet - no matter who they are - with dignity and respect, never say anything bad about anybody and always forgive.'" When Burke talks about his next hero, his face softens and his eyes take on the look of a young man who has just glimpsed the woman he is going to marry. At orientation each fall, Burke helps ease the transition for new students and their parents.

"Barbara and I have fun. We have a lot of laughs," he says, NICEST MAN IN SHOE LEATHER smiling at the mention of her name. Some of that laughter revolves around Tom's love of cooking.

"It is something he can immerse himself in and maybe friends and colleagues who expressed how much he meant to forget the problems he deals with on a daily basis," she says. them.
