After nighttime FBI raids of ome legislative offices, the rush to pass new laws in the final days of the session had lost its usual appeal. Apolitiral corruption scandal be- came "thi> story." • Two obscure bills that few people, in- cluding legislators, read, understood or remembered, were in the spotlight They were passed with little scrutiny or opposition. They were vetoed by the governor because of their special interest nature benefiting only one company. "The story" turned out to be a phony setup by the FBI in an elaborate three- year-sting operation aimed at gathering evidence of illegal shakedowns and pay- offs. The ramifications - whether any one is arrested or prosecuted - should give legislators pause to rc-examme the manner in which they do business . "Money- bbing transcends every- thing else," one vrteran aide told us in the wake of the scandal. Legislators use both taxpayer and spedal interest dollars to stay in power. Because of legis1ative inbreeding - a third of the lawmakers are former staffers - some citizens feel they have lost control. Could the real culprit in this whol,: mess really be the media? The Center for Public Interest Law, based at the Umversity of San Die o School of Law, so con en s ma com mentary m its quarterly, the California Regulatory Law Reporter. It asserts we arc in the "midst of the worst crisis in political corruption in the last 10u years of American government. "The overwhelming evidence is that the real culprit is the media." This may be sour grapes . The center unsuccessfully backed Proposition 68, a political reform measure calling for vol- untary taxpayer funding of campaigns as one of its provisions. Still, the center does make some sa- lient points about the inadequacy of news coverage that has led to a situ- ation where "special interests have more meaningful item veto power over the Legislature than ever enjoyed by an elected governor ' lncumben · last year collected near-

ly $25 million in campaign contribu- tions These contributions from many businesses, governmental entities, labor groups and so forth are just part of the cost of doing business because special legislation can mean millions, some- times hillions, of dollars in tax breaks or other economic profit opportunties. The center criticizes the media for too much emphasis on the ''man-bites- dog" stories that abound "The run-of-the-mill campaign con- tribution, followed by a committee vole 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, it is usual- ly only when a third party makes a pui:);;~ "charge" or there is "a formal pro.<;ccphm underway or imminent." Thus, it tries to make a case that if those of us in the media are doing our job right, Wt' might have a better sys- tem of making public decisions based on the ments. The commentary concludes the me- dia are "a self-proclaimed sacred cow, self•righteously claiming the fabric of the constitution which it is doing its utmosl 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. That is: "The media loves to justify its political candidate/melodrama/ sexual orientation/trivia preoccupation by citing the need to know the candi- date's 'character.' " Those are harsh words for us cul- prits. Michael Otten is chief of The Sacramen- to Union's Capitol Bureau.

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 his 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.

tion is incredible," McGarry said. "I think that comes from t,im being so smart. He has a rea~ ood feel for what's going on." Day attributed his performance last year to the new defense installed before the sea- son. The multiple-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 Jot, 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 fmished 6-3-1 and were ranked 2oth 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 size remained an issue even when he came to USD and was moved to defensive back. ''I kind of got caught up in (that) when he bowed 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 defe ive 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 wa doubled." Not for long, however. By the middle of his freshman sea.son, Day was starting at free safety. He remained there, and played some outside linebacker as well, as a sophomore. Then came his 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-

Day's combined efforts earned him first- team academic All-America honors, the first time a USO player had been recognized as su h_ And USA Today recently named Day as one of this eason's top 10 Division III defen- ive players. Day didn't meet with nearly as much suc- cess when searching for a college. Academ- ics was hi priority, so he applied to several Ivy League schools. But the only one to offer b1m adm1SS1on, Cornell, was the one he had decided he didn't like. Other more prominent football schools, uch as Notre Dame and Stanford, decided he

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 g 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, 236) and sopho- more Ray Smith (6--2, 255).
