Afler nighlt,me 1-'BI ra ids of some legislative offices, the rush top· s new laws in the fina I days of the ses ion had lost its usual appeal. A poli ical corruption scandal be- came "th" story." • Two obscure bills that few people, m- cluding legi lators, read, understood or reme.mbercd, were in the spotlight. They were pa sed with little scrutiny or opposrtmn. They were vetoed by the governor because of their special interest nature benefiting only one company "Th story" turned out to be a phony setup by the FBI in an elaborate lhrcc- year-sting operation aimed at gathermg evidence of illegal shakedowns and pay- offs. Th ram1f1cat1ons whether any one is arrested or prosecuted should give legislators pau e tor -examine the manner in which they do business. "Money- bbing transcends <'Very• thing else," one V<'teran aide told u. m the wake of he scandal. Lc~lators u e both taxp yer and spc 1al interest dollars to stay in power. Because of legis1ative inbreeding a third of the lawmakers are former staffers - ome citizen feel they have lost control. Could the real culprit m this who! mess really be the media? The C'E!nter for Publjc Interest Law, based at the University of San Diego School of Law, ·o contends m a com- mentary mits quarterly, the California Regulatory Law Reporter. It asserts we are in the "midst of the worst crisis m political corruption m the last H years of American government. "The overwhelming evidence is that the real culprit i · the media " This may be sour grap The ci>nter unsuccessfully backed Proposition 68, a political reform measure calling for vol- untary taxpayer funding of campaigns as one of its prov1s1ons.

The center crillcizes the media for too much emphasis on the "rnan-b1lcs- dog" stori · that abound "The nm-of•lhP-mill campaign con tribution, followt,'<.I by a committee vol<· walk-away to benefit the giver is such an inbred part of the system that it is not reported," says the center's com- mentary. "There are few or no stories on the subject." The center rightfully notes that, when corruption is reported, 1t is usual- ly only when a U1ird party makes a pui:>;, ' "charge" or there is "a formal µr !(•ui, m underway or imminent." Thus, it tries lo makP a ca e that if those of us in the media are doing our job right, we might havl' a better sys• tern of mak ing public decisions based on the merits . The commentary concludes the me- dia are "a self-proclaimed sacred cow, self-righteously claiming the fabric of the constitution which it is doing it:; utmost to abuse." Though written before Sen Dan Quayle and his National Guard career became "the story" of the Republican convention, one comment seems to fit in with the media feeding-frenzy theory.

around the defense, which Day will help take charge of now that strong safety John Gutsmiedl, a four-year starter, has graduat- ed. McGarry said Day leads by example. "He always works hard," McGarry said. "Every time he's in a drill, he works his butt off. A lot of the young guys look at that. "It's not a verbal leadership. He's really kind of low-key. It's kind of refreshing to have someone that good not be a braggart." Far from that, Day appears to be embar- rassed by attention. Rather than be in the spotlight, he prefers to do the dirty work - literally. For bis work-study job, he does the players' laundry after each practice. "They usually put freshmen on it, but I requested it (last year)," said Day, explaining that he can study while the uniforms are being washed. Day hopes his studying will pay off when he applies to graduate schools~ -

tion is incredible;• McGarry said. "I think that c mes from him bemg so smart. He has a real ood feel for what's gomg on.'' Day attributed his performance last year to the new defense installed before the sea- son. The mult1ple-front 50 defense allows the free safety to play closer to the line of scrimmage. "How we changed the defense gave my spot an opportunity," Day said. "I was up on the line a lot, which gave me more tackles." Day and the rest of the defense were the key to USD's success last year. With the de- fense yielding just 10 points a game and shut- ting out four opponents, the Toreros fimshed 6-3-1 and were ranked 20th in the final Divi- sion III poll. They were denied a berth in the playoffs when Menlo beat them, 17-15, in the final game. With 15 starters returning - eight on de- fense - the Toreros have high hopes for the 1988 season. Much of the optimism centers

was too small to play at the ivision I level. Day's · e remained an issue even when be came to USD and was moved to defensive back. "I kind of got caught up in (that) when be showed up here," defensive coordinator Kevin McGarry said. "It usually turns out that a kid who moves from linebacker to defensive back because he isn't big enough is not good enough to play defensive back." Day's stock dipped further immediately. "The first (defensive backs) meeting we ever had, he fell asleep," McGarry said. "My neg- ative opinion right away was doubled." Not for long, however. By the middle of his freshman season. Day was starting at free safety. He remained there, and played some outside linebacker as well, as a sophomore. Then came bis big sea- son last year. McGarry said the same characteristics that make Day a classroom whiz also con- tribute to his athletic success. "His anticipa-

sure to perform. You can concentrate more on hool" And Day done jus that, mamtaining a 3.8 grad point averag over his first three years at USO. A bus1ness/econom1cs major Day bas e.xce ed on the field as well leading the Toreros in tackles (91) and intercept1or.s; (six) last year. Day's combined efforts earned him first- team academic All-Amenca honors, the first time a U D player had been recognized as uch And USA Today recently named Day as one of this a on' top 10 D1vi 10n III defen- SJVe players. Day didn't meet with nearly as much suc- c when searching for a college. Academ- ics was his priority, o he applied to several Ivy L gue schools.

Fogarty has been impressed with the throwing arm of Piper, a Bonita Vista High alumnus who tran (erred from Southwestern Col- lege ''Doug Piper's as good a thrower as we've had here in a long time," Fogarty said. "We do other things he'll have to learn." Sophomore Ty Barksdale and sen- ior Virgil Enriquez return at tail- back. Also back is juruor fullback Todd Jackson, the leading rusher with 405 yards on 88 carries. Jack on also scored a team-leadmg four touchd0WQS. The recei ers will be solid if Mira Mesa High alumnus Ken Jones stays healthy. Jones, a sophomore Fogarty describes-as "an outstandmg athlete" with 4.6 speed m the 40, has a shm injury the coaches fear may be

a stress fr3cture. Two-year starter Ken Zampese, the son of former Chargers and cur- rent Rams offensive coordinator Ernie Zampese, returns at the other wide receiver position. Zampese, a senior from University High, also re- turns kickoffs and punts. Senior David Nottoli, who has been slowed by injuries in the past, is healthy and will start at tight end. Fogarty is impressed with Nottoli s size (6-3, 220) and speed (4.6 in the 40). "We're expecting great things from him," Fogarty said. Only two starting offensive line- men return: senior guard Mike Cas- sady (6-0, 230) and junior tackle Mark Garcia (6-1, 250). Two of the other spots probably will be filled by junior Jeff Carpenter (5-10, ll6) and sopho- more Ray Smith (6-2, 255). Sopliomore John Gillis again will handle the punting, and sophomore Jim Morrison and freshman Dave Bergmann will compete for the kick- mg J0b.
