was only temporary. "I don't see an international criminal court under U .S . auspices," said Murphy. "For a va- riety of political reawns an inter- national criminal court has never been set up" One of Muphy's concerns is the tension between law enforcement and perbonal freedoms . "The greatest danger," he said, "is gov- ernment overreaction . You could see some very repressive actions taken." * • When the Bar results came out Steve and Kimberly Haile didn't dare open their envelopes at the same time because "we were so sure that one of us didn't pass," said Kimberly. With their backs to one another first one, t hen the other peered m'. side. "We were screaming," Kimberly went on. "I'm sure the whole apartment complex knew we pass- ed." The Hailes were one of a few San Diego couples who passed the July exam. Steve, a Stanford graduate and Kimberly, who was b't'adualed,from the University of Colorado at Boulder, were married while at USO Law School and studied together. She finished cum laude · he was in the top third. ' "It was a tremendous advantage fo~ studying for t he Bar," said Kimberly "You t hink of questions at the weirdest times. Like at the dining room table." Steve is now with Hughes and Campbell ; Kimberly's at Gray, Cary, Ames and Frye. * ... * Ric sten, a speaki ng poet, will ad ress the San Diego Psycho- logy and Law Society on Wit and Wisdom this Friday at a luncheon meeting in the Cardinal Room of the King's Inn in Mission Valley.

cializes in the problems of interna tional terrorism. The term terror itself popped up for the first time following the French revolution of the 1790s, the so-called Reign ofTerror. Last Friday morning Murphy spoke at Cal Western Law School about international law and ter- rorism in a talk sponsored by the school and the World Affairs Council He views terrorism from two perspectives: the acts of individu- als as well as state-supported in- ternational terrorism. "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter," said Mur- phy. He advocates stripping away definitions and dealing with the particular crime involved, be it an airplane hijacking, car bombing, shooting or hostage taking. "There should be certain limita- tions on the means, no matter how just the cause," explained Murphy, a former State Department attor- ney who has been a consultant on terrorism to various national and international organizations. ·'They (terrorists) should be regarded as international crimi- nals," but the the international community so far " has been unable to do this." Murphy listed three ways to combat individual terrorism: • Prevention, which includes sharing of information among in- telligence agencies - a "balance between privacy lof the individual) and law enforcement - and educa- tion - " the terrorist is not regard- ed as a freedom fighter." • Management of a terrorist situation after the bomb has gone off or the plane has been hijacked. • Apprehension, prosecution and punishment, a scenario which raises several le~al issues. For i •ta. r,.- , when a terrorist comiit crime in State A and flees to .State B where he's cap- tured, can B send him back to A for prosecution? Does State B have jurisdiction to prosecute? Mutual assistance agreements are in a "very rudimentary stage," said Murphy. As for responses to state-sup- ported terrorism, Murphy offered these: • Diplomacy but "often t he diplomacy approach comes awfully late." • Protests - or the "mobi liza• tion of shame approach." • Economic sanctions a rena where the, " U.S. is' Olympic champion."

USD coach Hank Egan also isn't making any predictions, but he does understand the importance of the rivalry. "Sure it's important," Egan said. "I think it's great. Basketball in this town needs a shot in the ann. If this rivalry can do something, then that's great."

lar position al SDSU two years ago. He helped recruit Thompson, Mussel- man, Madden and Krallman. "I have a lot of mixed emotions about the nvalry," Babcock said. 'Tm still pretty close to some of those guys. I guess if y u're on USD's side I'd say, 'Yes, it's a big rivalry.' But on San Diego State's side it isn't as big a deal. When I was at USD it was always bigger than it IS at State. "It's not quite as big here, although that may have changed now that USD has had some pretty good teams the past two or three years." Babcock believes no matter how dominant USD becomes in the bas- ketball picture, it will always take a that USD's not very big," he said "I think San Diego State has a lot more graduates." Thompson knows times have changed, however. • "People don't mix us up with San Diego State anymore," said Thomp- son, who has played a large part in eliminating the confusion. "Just last year we beat them for the first time (at the Division I level). That gave us some confidence and I think we've gained some respect in the eyes of the community." The Toreros (2-2) are respected enough in basketball circles this ea- son that they have been p'eked to win the WCAC. Conversely, the Aztecs (0- 2) are a young team picked to be an also-ran in the WAC. While both learns enter tomorrow's contest with two-game losing streaks, the Toreros find themselves in the unfamiliar po- sition of favorite for this game "But with rivalries you never know what's going to happen," Bab- cock said. ''You just never know how emotion is going to go." Said Musselman: "It's for bragging rights. But I don't really want to an- swer whr's going to win. I've seen too many things put up in locker rooms. And, hey, you look at Nevada-R a which upset USD 81-80 Saturday night) and they're structured a lol like San Diego State." ackseat to SDSU. "Just for the fac

of lh little guy beating the big guy. Wh n the Torero · stepped mto the upper d1v1Sion w1lh their advance- m nt into th WCAC for the 1979-80 a n, victories against the Aztecs were met with . .. fact is, there weren't any victories until last sea- son's 81-64 win Six straight L's be- fore a W. Even wh n the Toreros won the WCAC and advanced to the NCAA Tournament during the 1983-84 sea- on, they were defeated by the Az tees 1 7 That wa SDSU's largest margin of victory since a 78-62 win during the 1975-7 campaign. How much frustration have the Torcr exper1en ed agam • Az- ecs mce going Division J? It may have been summed up during the Toreros' 47-45 lo sin the 1982-83 sea- son. That was when USD guard Rich Davi was ejected and, to the hoots and boilers of the partisan Aztecs crowd at the arena, raised both arms and gave the crowd the universal symbol fill-will. ''That wa a year before I got here, Musselman said. "Actually, I can't believe he did that. I don't know wh ma him do that. Davis isn't like that." It s the n air ·. 'There yo i go, ' said Musselman who, alon with Thompson and Torer forw rds Nils Madden and Stev rallman, has had a close eye on th~ rivalry the past four years. "They got us the first two years and we got them last year We want to even that up this year." Two people in this drama have viewed it from both sides. Mike Haupt is one. Haupt is a redshirt sophomore at USD this sea- son, but a back injury has prevented him from competing for the Toreros. He played at SDSU as a freshman during the 1984-85 season when his !ale-game heroics helped the Aztecs to a 57-53 win.
