1888 Peaceful times may mean tailspin in local ecogomy, say officials Th~rming of relations between the United Slates and the Soviet Union could have a chilling effect on San Diego's defense-based economy, local economists testified yesterday at a congressional hearing. "A shift away from the military would have a very adverse Impact on the region," said Max Scbetter, vice president of the economic research bureau of the Greater San Diego Chamber of Commerce. "Some companies will be able to adapt fairly easily and some will not be able to adapt at all," he said. "We could see employment reductions and some

COLLEGE FOOTBALL /.---,--~-------. Menlo ~ives Toreros happy ending
"I came here for football and aca- demics," said Todd Jackson. He cor- rected himself: "Academies first, then football second." Dunn acknowledged that the sea- son is over. Barring a miracle, Wis- consin-Platteville, ranked No. 4 in the Western Region, secured the re- gion's final berth with a victory yes- terday afternoon. "It was just a real good team ef- fort." Fogarty said, for the seventh time this season, "but I'm not really ready to give up this year." Among those scheduled to return are junior quarterback Brendan Murphy and sophomore place-kicker Dave Bergmann. Murphy completed three of five passes for 45 yards and gained 57 yards in seven carries. Bergmann kicked a 23-yard field goal to make it
Jackson achieves 1,000-yard season in 31-19 SD win The opposing punt returner had just pinballed 48 yards for a touch- down, and far away, a team had knocked the University of San Diego out of the 'CAA playoff picture. \\'by, then. were the Toreros hugg- ing one another, dumping water on their jubilant coach and posmg for nostalgic snap hots yesterday after- noon' For starters because they still had beaten v1S1tmg Menlo College for the first time in four tri , 31-19. Other reasons: They had achieved a 7-2 record, the school's best since 1981; they had given Coach Brian Fogarty his best seaso in seven years at the school and had evened bis record at 33-33-2. Also, they and the capacity crowd of more than 4,000 had hared a memorable moment, when a former
Jackson carried 30 times for a9 of USD's 369 rushing yards. His third touchdown run of the day, an 11· yarder, made it 31-13 with 2:39 left to play. But Jackson still needed 3 yards to reach 1,000. Menlo's Dan Wahl gave Jackson his chance when he fumbled after running 69 yards and another Jack• son, USD's Darryl, recovered. Todd Jackson got the call straight- away, and Garcia and Carpenter, both seruors, gave him enough room. Those two, sophomore Gene Fonta- na, freshman Sean Parks and junior Ray Smith "really wanted lt,"Jack• son said. Wahl atoned for his error by run- ning back a punt for a TD with no time left. Few Toreros cared. They celebrated like Division I national champions. "If you want to play for the love of the game, Division III footba place to be," summarizec Dunn a senior defensive tack
high school blocking back capped a superb collegiate career, one in which others did the blocking. With about two minutes left m the game and his career, senior fullback Todd Jackson, once again following left tackle Mark Garcia and left guard Jeff Carpenter, gamed 3 yards to reach 1,000 for the season. "It was a big accomplishment," said Jackson, USD's all-time rushing leader. "It was a goal I bad set for myself when I came here." As do most Division III players, Jackson arrived unheralded. He might have blocked 1,000 players, but Jackson did not approach 1,000 yards at El Dorado High in Placentia. He blossomed at USD two years ago when Fogarty switched from an 1-fonnation to the Delaware Wing-T, which better suits Jackson's quick- hitting linear style. The 5-foot-11, 205-pounder came in handy yesterday. Fogarty wanted to run the ball and the clock against Menlo (3-6).
companies may go out of business" Schetter's comments came at the . , conclusion of a two-hour hearing here yesterday. Rep. Jim Bates, D- San Diego, who organized the hear- ing but did not attend, said in a press release that the purpose was to help determine the local impact of reduc- tions in defense spending. The hearing testimony will be re- viewed by four congressional com- mittees considering bills on the con- version of the nation from a wartime to a peacetime economy Jim Bartell, Bates' chief of staff, predicted that military spending cuts will come as early as next year. "Recent events, like those taking place in Poland and Hungary and Germany, are indicators that the world is becoming a democracy," Bartell said. "What that means is that there will be less requirement to have troops overseas, less requirement for military hardware overseas and less requirement for a U.S. presence overseas," he said. "That has to have a significant impact on our current industrial base." In San Diego County, where more than 20 percent of the jobs are de- fense-related, the effect of a cut· back in military spending already are bemg felt. Contracts awarded to local mili· tary contractors fell 13 percent be- tween 1987 and 1988, Scheller said. However, the decline was offset by an increase in mllttary payroll. "It's already happening, but so far we're coping with it," he said. "We may not get any more ships, but the Navy is entrenched here."

asl November, the voters rejected two growth -control measure~ In the city of San Diego. Now, another th lnll alive 1s being sponsored by a group of concerned citizens called Prevent Los Angehzatlon Now! who believe that the tradllional legislative decision-making process is still unresponsive. Its ponsors hope that the City Council will adopt its provisions, and if not. they will attempt to qualify the initiative for the June or November 1990 ballot. ' Another group has announced its Intent to sponsor an Initiative that would compete wtth PLAN. The likely result 1s voter confusion. Clearly a response by the City Council 1s a preferred way to deal with land-use problems But that has not happened to date. If the council waits much longer, the failure to act will be a stimulus to initiative proponents. San Diego could end up ma situation similar to a year ago, when the volers faced a confusing array or growth lmt,al!ves.

In hght or this situation, we should ask, Why did these growth-control measures fall last November? And, how is PLAN different from the Called initiatives? Clearly, these growth-control measures were not rejected because San Diego has solved its growth-related problems. San Diego continues to experience growth unparalleled in its history. Last year the county added close to 90,000 people with no sign of 3batement. Providing adequate public services to accommodate this growth-without an arcompanying decline m the quality or life-will be the major challenge for the City Council and county Board of Supervisors in the 1990s. Two fundamental reasons contributed to the failure of the growth-control lnttialives last November. The first was the compleXllY or the imllalives. Although there are exceptions, the public generally will not vote for initiatives that are dtCCicult to understand. All or the failed growth initiatives-the ones ~ponsored by Citizens for Limited Growth and the ones sponsored by the city and county governments-were long and complex. And because they covered the same general subJcct, the public found them difficult to distinguish. The second contributing factor was the philosophy embodied m the initiatives. Most people would agree that there is nothing inherently wrong with growth. The challenge Is successfully pl1:1nning for It and then effectively managing it. It 1s poor planning and management to worry and fret about providing sufficient schools, parks, libraries and other necessary public services after the buildings have been constructed and occupied. But the Initiatives put before the voters last fall were not responsive to the real problems facing San Diego. They focused on limiting building permits, not planning and management. Is PLAN different from the failed growth-control initiatives? I would answer with a qualified yes.
