asks questions to check if a candidate's value system is "consonant with universi- ty values." "We don't use any one issue as a lit- mus test. Are they people who believe in God and m the dignity of each human be- ing? Will they support social justice? Will they care about other faculty and our 6,000 students? That's what we look for. "Strachan satisfied us, and still does," Furay said. • • • PROSPECTIVE LAW students can talk one-on-one with representatives of more than 90 law schools at the sixth an- nual Law School Forum to be held in Los Angeles on Friday and Saturday. The forum is designed to provide up-to- date information about law school admis- sion policies and financial aid. Students can obtain admission materials and view a videotaped program about the Law School Admissions Test (LSA T). "The forums provide the optimal set- ting to gather law school information at one ttme and place from those who know the facts - admissions deans and direc- tors, faculty, students and alumni," said Beth O'Neil, associate executive director of the Law School Admission Council, which administers the LSAT. The free two-day recruitment event will be held at the Hyatt Hotel at the Los Angeles Airport, 6225 West Century Blvd. The Law School Forum will run from noon to 7 p.m. on Friday, and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday. It is sponsored by the Law School Ad- mission Council and the participating American Bar Association-accredited law schools. Similar forums were held this fall in New York City, Atlanta, Chicago and Boston. Schools participating in the Los Ange- les Law School Forum include all 16 ABA- accredited law schools in California, including Boalt Hall, UC Davis, UCLA, 1:iastings College of the Law, the univer- sity ofSan Diego, USC and Stanford. Law schools from out of state to be represent- ed will include Columbia, Georgetown, Harvard and Yale Law School. •• • LAW SCHOOL BRIEFS: Nancy and Charles T. Munger of Los Angeles have endowed a professorship in business at the Stanford Law School. Charles Munger is a founding partner of the Los Angeles law firm ofMunger, Tolles & Ol- son, vice chairman of Berkshire Hatha• way and chairman of the Daily Journal Corporation. His wife, Nancy, is a gradu- ate of tanford and served 10 years on the university's board of trustees. Law Dean Paul Brest characterized the Munger pro- fessorship as a "critical part of our ex- panding law and business curriculum.'' A law school spokeswoman said the stan- dard cost of endowed professorships at the school is $1.6 million.

Admm1strat10n officials at the Universi· ty of San Dieg o· man Catholic priests and lay members be- se of her Views on libortion. - -We are perfectly satishei:I with her values," Sister Sally Fura~~vice ~~•- dent and provost olthe Roman Catholic llltn'CtS1ty, told reporters in response to th call"s1or Strachan's removal. Strachan, 46, was appointed law dean at USO last Apnl, becoming one of just two female law deans among Califor- nia's 16 American Bar Association-ac- credited law schools. She is a 1968 graduate of Boaltl!~t the 1Jniversrty of California, Berkeley, amrnad been teachmg at the University of Utah College of Law prior to her appoint• mental USD. Strachan came under fire after a news• paper article was published in August in which she said she personally opposes abortion, but supports a "woman's right, with her doctor and religious counsel- ors,'' to choose for herself, in accordance with the law. After the article was published, the Rev. William Mooney, pastor of the Blessed Sacrament Church in San Diego, asked the Presbyteral Council to consider at its last meeting whether to seek Stra· chan's ouster. The council consists or-di- ocesan clergy who consult with the bishop on various issues. ''I can't believe that in this whole coun- try, they couldn't find a Catholic jurist who is against abortion," Mooney said. Strachan's appointment was discussed by the council in executive session about a week ago , but no statement was issued, according to the Rev. John Proctor, pas- tor of the Corpus Christi Church in Bonita and a member of the council. But Proctor said he thought "it would be a good idea to replace her." Monsignor Richard Duncanson, chan- cellor of the San Diego Diocese, a Presby- teral council member, and a member of , he USO Board of Trustees, said that Bishop Leo T. Maher told those at the meeting that priests who have complaints should write him a letter and that he will "take it under advisement.'' Strachan was appointed dean of the 1,100-student law school following a year- long search by a 14-member committee. The committee, according to Furay, was looking for a dean who could attract wom- en and minority faculty to the law school and upgrade its curriculum. Strachan is the first woman dean of the law school and one of 11 women law deans in the United States. At the Univer- sity of Utah College of Law, she played a key role in conducting a comprehensive curriculum reform effort. During the interview process for facul· ty and deans, Furay said the committee

And al- though r d h1rts ar forbidden to travel to away gam at school ex- pense Jerome paid ht way to att nd all of U D's regional road gam "1':ven though I couldn't play last year, I wanted to do anything I could to h Ip ' J rom 1d 'I wa frus• trat d that I couldn't play. I really wanted to f I a part of what they were going through. So I worked as bard I could tn practice." Without Jerome, the Toreros stag•

gered through the 1983-89 campaign with five freshmen and as many sophomores on a 13-man squad. Three freshmen started - guards Gylan Dottin and Wayman Stnck- land and forward Kelvin Woods. It was a m last year," Egan said "We'd have streaks where we'd look good. But the streak where we looked bad were a lot longer. We were young and some of the really experienced teams 10 the West Coast Conference hammered on us. Wb n you hit tough times, it be- romc a qu of do you dig in or do you fold up? But more often than not. the kids we were playmg rallied me Instead of me rallying them." And Jerome pent many hours in the gym helptng to rally the players. He worked hard last year," Egan sa d. "He counseled a lot of players. It's one thing for a young player to hear something from a coach, and 1t s quite another to hear it coming from a player of John's stature" And Jerome has stature. Physical- ly he carri 225 pound on his 6- foot-8 frame. As a ba ketball player, some of the faithful around the USO Sports Center are comparing Jerome s abilities to Mike Whit- mar h who led the Toreros to their first conference title and NCAA Tournament berth m 1983-84 I'm not a fla by player," Jerome Id "I don't have great quickness. I'm not a great leaper. But I'm de- cent And I want th ball and I play hard "[ won't have many slams. I'm just on of tho e players who will finish with 15 points and 10 rebounds and hav everyone wondering where I got them." Added Egan "If you like to see ba ketball played by omeone who makes the mo t out of his u11der- stand1qg of the game, you'll like the way Jerome plays." Egan has had hi eye on Jerome since he was m high school in Pr ott, Am. But Jerome decided to attend Mesa Community College out of h gh school This was not bad news for USO since former Torero starters Pete Murphy and Mark Manor opted for San Diego after two

years at Mesa. But Jerome threw Egan a curve alter leading Mesa to a 30-6 record and a third-place finish in the 1987 National Junior College Champion- ships. He opted for Arizona State. "In my heart even then, I wanted to come to USD," Jerome said. "But I wasn't thinkmg about myself. My family and friends wanted me to stay closer to home. I came around to what they wanted. I had a lot of op- tions and I made tbe decision to go to Arizona State." But Jerome and then Sun Devil coach Steve Patterson didn't hit it off "Coming here was the best move I could have made," said Jerome, a psychology major. Jerome's presence has allowed Egan to make a number of adjust- ments this fall. Last season, the Toreros went with two penmeter players and three in- side players. With Jerome on the in- side with 6-9, 240-pound junior Dondi Bell, the 6-5, 230-pound Woods and the 6-8. 22~pound Shawn Hamilton (another Mesa CC product), Egan will go to three perimeter players and two insiders. The perimeter will be manned by the likes of Cottrell (12.2 points per game, 65 percent shooter from the floor), Dottin (12 0 average), Stnck- land, Pat Holbert (another Mesa CC product), Anthony Thomas and Randy Thompson. "Jerome 1s helping us m several areas," Egan sa d. "Last year, we had to count on Dondi to help us score inside. This year, he will be able to concentrate on his strengths of rebounding and defense. Dondi has played as well as I've ever seen him play this preseason. "Everyone feels the addition of Jerome, Hamilton and Holbert have made us better. We're going to run more. One thing Egan won't have to push this year will be his freshmen class, led by Brooks Bernhard of Escondido High and Joe Temple from Lincoln Prep. Last year, Dottin, Strickland and Woods were forced into action, because Egan was desperate.
