Matthew Horeczko threw him- self a party at his parents' home in San Pedro on Thursday, the night before he was to leave for his first year In college. Wade Hashimoto of Torrance was one of at least 150 teen-agers who came from all around the South Bay to enjoy the end-of-summer bash. But by the end of the gathering in a normally placid middle-class section of the community over- looking Los Angeles Harbor, Hash- imoto was dead, Horeczko was in jail on suspicion of his murder and two other youths were recovering from stab wounds. Police, relatives and friends said Saturday they were still trying to understand how two seemingly nonviolent, wholesome boys would become involved in such a bloody confrontation. · Los Angeles Police Homicide Detective James Vena said Hore- czko's parents were out of town the night of the party in the 1800 block of Chande!eur Drive. Vena said accounts vary as to whether the party was supposed to be by invitation only but, regard- less, young people arrived from all "Everyone saJd the party was real fun and there were no prob- lems until the very end,'' Vena said. At a little after 10 p.m., someone turned off the blaring music and announced on a dlsc-jockey's ml- crophone that everyone should go over.
Horeczko was an all-league full- back and defensive back last fall at Mary Star of the Sea High School in San Pedro, according to his coach, Jerry Aguilar. The 5-foot, 11-inch, 185-pound Horeczko was due to report today for his first football practice at the University of San Diego. Haehimoto also played football before graduating from Torrance High School in 1988. His parents said Saturday that he had been working part-time as a pizza deliv- eryman and preparing next month to begin his second year at El Camino College in Torrance, where he studied business. Hashimoto, 5 feet, 8 inches and 160 pounds, liked to go out with his friends but never got into trouble, his mother said Saturday. "He loved to go out to parties. We always cautioned him to be careful," said Carol Hashimoto, a school teacher. But she said Wade told her not to worry, saying, "Everybody likes to go out and see their friends. It's fun."
But some guests who arrived late did not want to leave and congre- gated in front of the house, said William Steel, who lives across the street. A series of fights broke out and then a few teen-agers began throwing bottles and debris at the house, Vena said. "It looked like a war zone to me," Steel said. "There was pandemoni- um in the streets ... fist fights and kids running in all directions." Detective Vena declined to pro- vide details about the attack on Hashimoto, 19, saying only that he was standing in front of the house when he was stabbed in the chest by Horeczko, 18. Hashimoto died at Two other 19-year-olds, Derek Gray of Hawthorne and Jose Rom- ero of Carson, also were stabbed and taken to San Pedro Peninsula Hospital, Vena said. The detective declined to say whether Horeczko is suspected of those attacks. Gray was treated and released and Rom- ero was n good condition at the hospital Saturday. Vena said that Horeczko told investigators that he stabbed Hashimoto in self defense. The case will be presented to the district attorney's office Monday or Tues- the scene. i Horeczko and Hashimoto, who apparently did not know each 0th- er, were both described as amiable, day, Vena said.

Sister Alice Gallin, director of the 212-member Association of Cath• olic Colleges and Universities, said the shift in leadership reflects the growing importance of fund raising.

So, when you com?ine ~n im~roved perception ofopportunity w1~h an improved economic environment, I beheve you have a very improved climate for an increase in law school applications.' co, the University of California's Has~ings College of the Law got 5,126 applications, a new high, up }8% from 4,330 the year befo:e, said Thomas Wadlington, admis- sions director. Harvard got about 7,800 applica- tiOQS for 540 spots, said Joyce Curll, assistant dean for admissions. Yale got 4,682 for 175, said Loretta Tremblay, assistant director of ad- missions. Both figures were re- cords. . This year's cascade ~f applica- tions is particularly mtr1gumg, icLA's Rappaport said, because it came "in the face of predictions hree or four years ago, when law chool applications were down, hat Jaw school applications would 1 vel off or maybe just keep going down." Bottomed in 1985-86 Interest in iaw school, which had 'teached a previous peak in 1~73-74, ttomed out in 1985-86, said Wil- liam J. Kenmsh, vice president of operations for Law School Admis- sion Services in Newtown, Pa. LSAS runs the Law School Ad- mission Test, which along with an applicant's college grade point av- erage is used by most schools to r nk candidates. In 1973-74, LSAS dmimstered about 135,400 tests, ennish said. In 1985-86, the end of 12 years of decline, the number 41dministered was down to about 91 400, Kenmsh said. in the 1988-89 testing year, the one during which most people who applied for this fall's entering class took the exam, LSAS administered 136,367 tests, Kennish said. "So we have in fact made up more than 12 years of decline in three years of increases," he said. "Everyone asks if it's 'L.A. Law' and so forth," Kennish said. " . . . What's happened, I think, IS th~t two factors have changed dramati- cally." . The first, he said, is economic. "If the perception is that the economy is unsound," Kennish said, instead of going to law school, college graduates figure, 'Jeez, I've got to get into the marketplace.' " Willing to Sacrifice But when inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index, re- mains low, as it was in early 1970s and then has been again since the mid-1980s, more people are willing to make the financial sacrifice law school requires, he said. "A person applying to law school lS making a commitment to about $20,000 a year now for three years," Kenn h said.

Law' By ~ ~HAMSON, Times Staff Writer For the first time in more than 15 years, la 'I school applications in the United States are breaking records. At the California Western School of Law in San Diego the expectation of a record number of first-year students has led Dean Michael H. Dessent to take the unusual step of assigning himself to teach a class. "The dean's going to have to put on the raincoat and boots, watch out for the tomatoes and get back in there,'' Dessent said. The unprecedented interest in law school-reflected in record applications at the University of San Diego, UCLA, USC and elsewhere-is attributable m rarge part to a smgle law firm, admiss10ns officials believe. That would be the firm of .McKenzie, Brackman, Chaney & Kuzak. They practice on the weekly television series, "L.A. Law." "Everybody wants to say [the increase is due to] 'L.A. Law'," said Nancy C. Ramsayer, director of 'I decided to go to law school before the show, but the competition was a lot tougher because of the show. I think it's directly related to the TV show, the glamour on TV.' Cal Weatem student Jeanne Taber admissions al Cal Western. "I keep wanting to discount that, saying it may have just something to do with it. " ... However, the other day I had someone telling me they were doing a research project, and they had to do so much research, and it wasn't like 'L.A. Law' at all. And I thought, oh my God, maybe it is that." In line last week at the financial aid office at Cal Western, incoming student David Guglielmi, 22, of Washington, D.C., said that indeed "L.A. Law" did play a part in his decision to apply to law school. The show portrays "younger people having a good time, making a lot of money, the fine clothes,'' he said. That image is what "people are buying into. That's what I bought into." Jeanne Taber, 23, of Eugene, Ore., another incoming student, said that she has never watched the show, but she's c ccd it still affected her a lication WIiiiam J. Kenniah Law School Admission Services San Diego, CA. (San Diego C~.l San Diego Union (Cir. D. 217,089) (Cir. S. 341,840) u 1 7 1989 crash] burned off your traditional M.B.A. candidate and so people steered away from business. Medi- cal schools have been down for several years, though they are 1 bouncing back, and with talk of national health insurance 1t no longer is the golden profess!?n 1t once was in terms of earnings. Whether it is a beneficial trend that more students are mterested in the law is another matter for debate. 'Good Profession' Colin W. Wied, a San Diego attorney who is the current presi- dent of the State Bar of California, where there are more than 117,000 active attorneys, believes the in- terest in law schools reveals 'a lot of people view [law] as a good profession to be m." "Just as an otiservation, [the 1 wave of applications] seems to me to belie the notion that law is a discredited profession," Wied said. "Just for starters. These are non- lawyers out there who. notwith- standing all the negative things that have been said recently about law and lawyers, want to be law- yers. I find that encouraging." But the trend may have a distinct downside, said Rappaport, dean of admissions at UCLA. "I swear we are seeing a grow- ing, disproportionate number of technical backgrounds [among ap- plicants]," Rappap?rt said. "Com- puter sciences, engmcering maiors, biology, chemistry, people out working in these fields, people with Ph.Os. from MIT and Caltech ap- plying to law school." Rappaport emphasized that his observations were not yet stat1st1- cally bolstered and he ~ad just a "hunch." But "it's what Im seemg. And if what I'm seeing is true, it's something we all ought to be concerned about. It suggests a r~al brain drain into the legal profession from the sciences and other techm- cal areas, which frankly are more import.ant to the 21st Century than lawyers. And, yes, you can quote me." $60,000. That's fairly quickly over $100,000 in lost money by a,person deciding to go to law school. The second factor, Kennish said, 1s the "perception of opportunities for lawJers, which rbeheve are not driven by 'L.A. Law,' but rather reflected by 'L.A. Law,' that there are in fact great opportunities for lawyers. . " 'L.A. Law' gives the perception that people com 0 out of law school and take $85,000-a-year jobs. So when you combine an improved perception of opportunity with an improved economic envir?nment, I believe you have a very improved climate for an increase in law school applications." Since NBC aired the first edition of "L.A. Law" on Sept. 15, 1986. Charles B. Rosenberg, the Los Angeles lawy r ,vho is legal adv1s er ~o the show, •aid he has "heard many people say that the show is the cause or a major cause of the increase in law school apphca- tions." •Glamorous and Interesting' Though he said he doubts it is the primary cause, "I guess th~ best. I can say is that 1t certainly 1s possible that it contributes to that trend because it does tend to pamt the profession as glamorous and interesting." . . . Other admissions officials pomt to other television dramas as rea- sons behind the increase-as well as additional factors. "There has been a heightened awareness of the profession due to things like the Bork hearings,_ the Irangate hearings," said Wadling- ton, admissions director at Hastings in San Francisco, referring to con - gressional hearmgs probing the nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court of Robert Bork and the Iran-Contra affair "You know, every lime I turn around there's s mething legal on the tube,'' Wadlington said.
