MAR 9 1988 They're known as Law Dawgs and they bill themselves as "The attorney's best friend." The brainchild of two second- year law students at the Universi- ty of Sap Diego &boo! of Law - Dyana Veigele and Benjamin Bunn - Law Dawgs will provide law clerks on a short-term or pro- ject basis - hourly, daily or week• ly. The first clerk was placed last week with a Cardiff attorney who was preparing for an expected nine-week insurance bad faith tnal. There's a sliding fee scale, said Veigele, a former paralegal at Brown, Martin, Haller & Meador who met Burn la t summer when the; · "took a tax law class toget- her." Law Dawgs of Old Town charges the firm $14 to $18 an hour, with the clerk getting $8 to $12. Although Law Dawgs' founders are from U D, Veigele said that students from Cal Western,....WesL. ern State and National University are also welcome. "There is a real need for a servi- ce like this," explained Veigele. As for the placement centers at USO and Cal Western, she said, "They don't take an active part in placing students." As of last week there were 20 third-year students who were "ready to go" with another 20 in the second yep.r. Veigele will contrnue to run the office this summer while, she said, Burn works at Hinchy, Witte, Wood, Anderson & Hodges. "This business is here for the long run," said Veigele, who "saw clerks come and go" when she worked m law offices. * * * On the Move: Lorne Lazzarini

Tom Blair B right idea: The Fieldstone Co.'s Keith Johnson thought it a terribly modern idea: installing sound-sensors to activate his office lamps with a snap of the fingers. That was until he held his first post-installation office meeting and a client coughed. And all the lights went out. Life in the city: The last time they met, the famed defense Atty. Leonard Weinglass was cross- examining Times-Advocate reporter John Nunes during the NASSCO Three conspiracy trial. That was seven years ago. Now Nunes is press director at !]SD and finds himself promoting a Weinglass speech there March 23. "But no hard feelings," says Nunes. "As long as he doesn't ask me for my notes this time." ... Mayor O'Connor will make the grand entrance at the City Clerk's office th!S morning with more than 4,000 signatures on her nominating petition for re-election. That's twice as many as the then-record 2,000 she turned in when she ran in 1986. And lots more than enough to avoid paying the $500 filing fee. , .. "Little Nikita," the Sidney Poitier-River Phoenix thriller shot on location here last year, has its first preview March 16 al the Mann Valley Circle - it's an invitation-only screening by the Chamber of Commerce Motion Picture/TV Bureau and B- 100 Radio.

If it does move to a neutral site, the main reason will be because of size limitations. USF's gym is the largest, with a seating capacity of 5,300. All 5,000 tickets for last night's game were exhausted Monday. Tick- ets with $5 and $8 face values were being scalped for as much as $20 last night.

B~ today ·pay depositors too' much while charging borrowers too I littie, a far cry from the old days, when they paid ,nothing on checking accounts·and only a little on savings, fin9la told a gathering at~- versity of San Diego. "How would you like to have your 1 inventory at no cost?" Pinola asked jokingly. "We came in at 9:30 in the mol'Ijing and left·at.3:30 in.tpe after- '. noon and it was ·a fine business." ' But banking isn't such:a fine busi- ness anymore, in part because of new , competition fro·m non-bank entities, such as GeDt!ral~Corp. and the • Ford Motor~whichn~ve acquired finan_cial services subsidiari~,-Pino.

ferred from USC, took charge in the second half when Kimble scored 15 of his 20 points and Gatbers scored 16 of his game-high 24. Santa Clara showed no signs of giving in early, though. Mitch Burley's three-pointer gave the Broncos their· biggest lead 39-29 with seven minutes to play in the first half. No matter. Loyola Marym- ount maintained its poker face. The Lions never flinch. "We ·needed to keep our style," said Westhead, who earned his 200th collegiate coaching win with the vic- tory. "We didn't back down. We were able to keep our pace and our ap- proach. Of course, we only have one approach. "The defense generated the turn- . ing point in the game. We just keep hanging around waiting for a turn- over. Once you get one, you're prone to get five or six. They start multi- plying." Things began to add up early in the second half when Loyola Marymount expanded a 51-49 halftime lead to eight points 63-55 three minutes into the second half. Four minutes later the lead was 75-60 as Loyola Marym- ount cruised in for its 24th straight win. "It seems like there is always four or five minutes where a team totally breaks down," said Gaines. "That's where we turn it on." You have to hand it to Loyola. Santa Clara did. And the Broncos got lost in the shuffle. • • • NOTES - The all-tournament team was dominated by Pac-10 refu- gees. Gathers was selected most valuable player in the voting by the media. Kimble and Gaines also represent- ed Loyola Marymount on the squad.

The Lions (27-3) are headed to the NCAA Tournament for the third time in the school's history and the second time in the past ninP years. "It was frustrating," said Wil- liams, whose team represented the conference m last year's NCAA Tour- nament along wit.hJlSD '.'.l.thought we had an awful lot of turnovers in the first half (14), then we started off the second half with three straight turnovers and they hit three three- pointers. "It is hard to stay in the game when you can't get the ball past halfcourt. When we got the ball up- court, we ran the offense well. But we didn't get it past halfcourt enough." Loyola Marymount has a reputa- tion for high-scoring offense. The Lions lead the nation in scoring with 110.5 points a game. Lions coach Paul Westhead does not play things close to the vest. The offense is fueled by a gambling, full- court pressure defense. Loyola Mar- ymount gives up some easy baskets (25 of Santa Clara's 37 field goals were layups), but the team capital- izes on panic and thrives on turn- overs Santa Clara's sophomore swing- man Jeffly Connelly, a transfer from USC, came off the bench to lead the Broncos with 14 points in the first half and finished with a team-high 20. But Westhead saw Santa Clara's transfer and raised the Broncos two more. Loyola Marymount senior guard Corey Games, a transfer from UCLA, led the Lions in the first half, scoring 17 of his 19 points in the first 20 min- utes. Teammates Bo Kimble and Hank Gathers, both of whom trans-
