Westwood and Love are being awarded fo r their service to the Univer– sity and the community. They were se lected by a committee of alumni. Westwood, an appellate attorney and partner in the firm of Miller, Nash, Wiener, Hager & Carlsen, has been an unflagging champion of Portland State since his arrival in 1962. As nominator C larence Hein '65 wrote, "People who don't know Jim graduated from PSU l J h ' " are peop e im asn t yet met. While a student at PSU, Westwood served as president of the Associated Students in 1965-66, but he is probctbly best remembered as team captain of the 1965 Portland State College champion– ship College Bowl T earn . The team broke every ex isting record in the seven-year history of the NBC quiz show. Team members were written up in TIME magaz ine and given the keys to the city. Following a stint in the U .S. Navy, Westwood graduated from Columbia Roy Love '61 University Law Schoo l in 1974. He has been with Miller, Nash since 1976, except for 18 months spent as ass istant for legal affairs to PSU Pres ident Joseph Blume!. Westwood is a former member and past president of the PSU Alumni Board and served as the board 's spokesperson to the Governor.'s Com– mission on Higher Education 111 the Portland Metropoli tan Area. He con– tinues to erve on committees for the University and for the past two years has acted as moderator fo r the alumni– student College Bowl match. Roy Love enrolled at Portland State in 1955 as a freshman from C leveland High School and, except fo r time off to earn a master's degree from OSU, he's been on campus ever since. Love pitched four seasons for the baseball team as a student and made the Oregon Collegiate Conference All Star T eam in 1958. After graduating in '6 1, he came on staff and through the years has served as assistant football coach, head baseball coach and director of athletics at PSU. During his tenure, PSU athletic teams have won three national women 's volleyball championships, two national men's wrestling champion– ships, two Division I baseball cham– pionships, and five NCAA Division II footba ll league championships. Accord– ing to Larry Sellers, Sports Information director, Love is "excellent at evaluat– ing people. He's been respons.ible for hiring Mouse Dav is, Don Read, Jack Dunn, Jeff Mozzochi and Pokey Allen, and the longev ity of the staff speaks highly of the way he treats peop le." Perhaps more notable is the fact that Love has achieved these successes with remarkab ly limited resources. Ralph Davis, professor emeritus of physical education, says, "If it had not been for Roy Love, there would have been only a token effort, if any, in making athletics what they are today at PSU." Sellers adds, "I've never been around anyone who puts more of him– self into a job. Roy is always thinking about what's best for the image and growth of Portland State." .
