USD dean exp~i~ views on aborti5tl The Tribune's Aug. 4 edit)on .re- ported my beliefs about aboi:t1on l~ a way that was appallingly m1sleadmg and incomplete. My private conviction is that abor· tion is morally wrong, and I lead_my own life accordingly. However, m a country where abortion is legal, th~ i sue to me is who makes the dec1• 100 ?

" . To headline my views as _suppor~ ing abortion" is incorrect, _s•m~llstlc and calculated to sensationallze. I draw thi conrlu. ion reluctantly, but what other explanation can there be for the reporter's dec1s1on to de- scribe my clothing. make_up and of• fice furniture rather than include my statements of respect aDd support for those on the pro-life ~•de who fight, within the law, for their smcere beliefs? I al O reiterate that these are my private views. Although I feel obliged to correct the report pub- lished by The Tribune, I have never fell and will never feel compelled to pr ach or proselytize. . As l told the reporter, my intent as dean of the school of law at the Um• versity of San Diego IS to _say nothmg more about my private views on this ubject, but to a ure that law stu- dents can debate the issues fairly a?d fully and come, individually' to in- formed, tested judgments. - KRISTINE STRACHAN

stocks and bonds of companies that do business In South Africa. The pension funds had unsuccessfully opposed the 1986 South Africa di• vestment bill in the Legislature. Experts disagreed on whether the South African divestiture was lowering the return that the _C~h- fornia pension funds are rece1vmg on the pension money, a key issue, since a Chinese divestiture would involve many of the same multina- tional companies. Universltfuof San Diego econo- mist Alan G said studies have shown that pension funds that do not invest In South Africa have had a slightly higher total return than those that do, averaging 0.2 percent a year. He said the reason was that multinational companies tend to do Jess well in the stock market than smaller firms, which are less likely to have investments overseas. the stocks of firms doing business In China would mean taking more risks with the state's $55 b11Uon pen- sion funds, because the companies are mostly blue chips that are more stable than small-company stocks. But pension fund experts countered that a divesting

Clippers won't train at USD ByJ~?efman Tribune Sportswriter Contrary to earlier reports, the NBA's Los An~e_les Clippers will not be holding their preseason trammg camp at USO. No lilf1c1al announcement has been made as yet, but the decision was confirmed today by a Clippers staffer, who wished to remain anonymous. "We're not coming down there," said the source, who said the Clippers intend to seek a training site in the Los Angeles area. The month-long camp is slated to begin Oct. 6. Several weeks ago, at a Sports Arena exhibition game of NBA players, Clippers owner Donald. T. ~terhng sounded as if he already had decided to brmg his team to USO. . today that no final arrangement had been made with the Clippers In fact, said Iannacone, the deal fell through Said Iannacone: "Nothing was ever confirmed. I have been quoted as saying that we would love to have ~hem, provided it was feasible and we could meet their re- quirements and do it in a first-class manner. . . "Since then, however, I talked to (arena pres1d~nt) Vm Ciruzzi and told him we simply couldn't provide our facility to meet their requirements." "several weeks ago."

Sought Comments on Rules The judges, appointed July 5, were re- quired to come up with rules of practice during the summer. On July 31, the pro• posed rules were packaged and mailed to members of the respondents' bar and the Office of Trial Counsel for comment. Pearlman said the court received respons• es last week.

"We hadn't gone further than that," Iannacone said. Sports Arena officials and other sources told The San Diego Union earlier this month that negotiations with USD were close to completion and that contracts had been drafted. It subsequently became clear dur- ing a conference call involving rep- resentatives of the arena, the NBA team and USD th t the school could not make its gym avIDlable at times the Clippers preferred. The team this \\ eek announced .ans to open camp Oct. 6 at Cal Poly "I said to them from the beginning 1at I had reservations and doubts as l whether this whole thing could ac- ually occur," said Iannacone, who aid h never discussed the matter vith a representative of the Clippers. • . . My concern here is that there :ould be a public perception that we m the idea. We were as flexible as we could be. There is one gymnasium. You can't possibly fit everyone in it. Our first responsibility is to our stu- dents. It really was as simple as that from the first day." Larry Kallett, vice president of de- velopment for the Sports Arena and the go-between in the discussions, said this week that he will try again in 199ft to arrange for the Clippers to train at USD. "I don't see any reason to specu- late on that," Iannacone said. "If we had another facility, there probably wouldn't be a problem, but we don't. I wouldn't think that anything would change."

volved. Enter the mediator, the third party willing to help the parties set- tle their differences. The San Diego Dispute Resolution Forum is sponsoring a day-long sem- inar Friday to teach the public about many kinds of mediation resolution. The San Diego Dispute Resolution Forum is a coalition of private prac- titioners and educators who promote peaceful and efficient resolution of disputes through mediation in San Diego, said Dennis Sharp, regional vice president of the American Arbi- tration Association. Forum discussions will be present- ed by San Diego judges and attor- neys, each presenting a program in their field of expertise. The day be- gins with an introduction to media- tion and how it compares to arbitra- tion and other modes of dispute reso- lution. Mediation involves a third party who can guide but not force the disputing parties to a settlement. In arbitration, the third party can im- pose a settlement. Seminar participants will be ab)e to .elect the type of mediation they are interested in and attend that presentation. Included in the selec- tion are divorce, tort and insurance, property management, business me- diation, mediation for non-profit or- ganizations, code enforcement, labor and employment. or construction mediation, Sharp said. An individual interested in divorce mediation, for example, can learn the ins and outs of reachmg a settle- ment without the f:nancial and emo- tional costs of litigation. The entire afternoon will be devot- ed to a session on mediation in the court. This will include a panel dis- cu ion examining the po •sibility of

don't smoke at the interview, one out of four people with a tobacco habit will lose the competition to a non- smoker. Those are the findings of Robert Half International, which surveyed the top executives and personnel di- rectors of 100 of the nation's 1,000 largest corporations. Robert Half is a publicly held com- pany that places people in perma- nent and temporary financial ca- reers. It has two offices in San Diego and 30 in California. The recently completed survey was a repeat of one done in 1980. "The U.S. Public Health Service has found that American employers lost $43 biHion last year due to the absenteeism and poor health of smokers," said Messmer. "Because of non-smokers' complaints and de- mands for non-smoking work areas, the loss of productivity and escalat- ing health costs, employers are hir- ing non-smokers over smokers." The survey found that 85 percent of U.S. companies now have no- smoking areas, up from 51 percent in 1980. What prompted the poll in 1980 were the many complaints received from employers about applicants who smoked during interviews, Messmer said. "The survey findings reflect social changes and growing economic con- cerns," he said. For example, nearly this.
