)11() USIU FACILITY

Law School P. cquisition ~itirs Debate By RAY KIPP Ediucation Writer, The San Diego Union The need to provide legal education to lo,N-income and minority students would ~,e ~et, if United States International Uni- versity s law school ls bought by Hastings ~ollege of Law, the dean of the state- financed school says. Hastings Dean Marvin J. Anderson said that 20 per cent of the entering class at the downtown San Diego law school could be ~xpected to be from minority or low- income areas. Anderson said in an interview he has told th ls to Assemblyman Peter Chacon D-Coronado, and others who have ex'. presse~ reservations about the University of Callfornia-affiliated, San Francisco- based law school serving minority and low-income needs. An~erson said at least 20 per cent of the entenng class at a Hastings branch in San Diego could be ex~ted !o qualliy for the school a~d alumru association's program of providing or arranging financial assis- tanc~ and meeting entrance requirements. ThlS had been one of the major concerns of Chacon, who sits on the Assembly's s~bcornmittee o_n post-secondary educa- !1on. Tha~ committee currently ls consider- mg the bill br Assemblyman Larry Kapi- loff, D-San Diego, to provide $2.5 million (spread over five years) to purchase the ~50-student USIU school at 350 Cedar St its 50,()()()_-volume library and furnishin~' and provide $500,000 in. first-year operating expenses. Chacon said Anderson's letter ls no guara~tee of such a commitment to take minon_ty and low-income students and he was still unsure of the need in view of the tight-budget goals of the state. little Support From His District Chacon said he also has received little support for the purchase from the Mexi- can-American community or others in his district. Chacon, along with Assemblyman Wadle Deddeh, D-Chula Vista, and Rep. Clair Burgener, R-Calli., sits on the executive board of Western States University College of Law. That private law school and the USIU and University of San Diego law s~hool_s, are the only legal education offe- rings m San Diego. Both Bur~ener and Deddeh have sup- ported the idea of the public law school acquisition here. ~hacon said in an interview he does not believe he has any conflict of interest in votin~ on the acquisition even though he occupies the nonpaid advisory post at Western States. Alth?ugh he, _Deddeh and Burgener are not paid for thfll" board services, Chacon's 1974 campaign reports show a s 250 contri- but_lon from Western States for his last legislative campaign. Kapiloff and City Councilman Jess Haro yester~ay sharply disagreed with Cha~on, s assessment of the minority com- muruty s need or support for the law school. ___

Minority Support Claimed "There's a lot of support in the minority community and every other segment that has to pay the high cost of education today,'' Haro said. The City Council Thursday endorsed the Hastings purchase and yesterday Mayor Wilson supported it as an important cultur- al and economic asset for the city as well as providing a low-cost, quallty legal edu- cation institution. Thef ~oln the San Diego County Bar Association, county Democratic Central Committee and Hastings and UC alumni who have endorsed the purchase. In outl~ning the need to meet minority and low-mcome needs, Anderson said ef- forts must include more than the waiving of tuition costs. He said Hastings has an organized pro- gram of scholarship stipends, grants and loans to help students with living expenses as well as tuition costs. However, the efforts to bring San Diego its first public fully supported law school still does not have the support of the county's own legislative delegation. Kapiloff has the support of Deddeh Assemblyman William Craven, R-Ocean'. side, and Sen. Jack Schrade, R-San Diego, who cosponsored the measure.
