Vargas Named To H ad USD Law Institute

The institut.e currently provides training and legal education to law- yers, academicians, students and corporate executives seeking better understanding of the relationships between the laws of the two nations. Vargas said he intends to expand the program to include a data bank on Mexican law at the USD and provide clerkships in Mexico for USO stu- dents.

Jorge A. Vargas, an international authority on the law of the sea, has been named director of the Mexico- U.S. Law Institute at the University of San Diego School of Law. The institute was established last fall to study the legal systems of the two nations seeking to better under- stand them and reduce the barriers to trade and other relationships that the laws may hinder. Vargas described the institute as

"the only one in the country devoted to the analysis of legal issues be- tween the two nations." Vargas is currently a research fel- low with the UC San Diego Center for U. -Mexican Studies, and has served as deputy director of th Off- ice of Internation:il Fisheries Affalf , Mexico City, and as director of the International Relations area at the C~ter for Economic and Social Studies of the Third World.

Scott Thompson, a 6-foot-11 center from Sacramento who was considered one of California's top high school basketball players last season, confirmed last night he has signed a national letter of intent with the University of San Diego. Thompson, a senior at Mesa Verde High in the Sacra- mento suburb of Citrus Heights, averaged 29 points and 16 rebounds a game this winter. He was named the San Joaquin Section's player of the year after leading his team to a record of 28-3, and chose USO over Washington State and Pacific "I was looking for a smaller school," Th,mpsoh ex- plained of his decision, "and I was hoping to f•nd ;i place where I would get some playing time my first couple of seasons. USD was one of the first schoolnhat contacted me - I made my official visit last fall, before the season began · and I always felt comfortable there. It's not too big, the coaches seem like good people to play for, and the program seems to be getting better every year. I :,ust hope I can help them along." . Torero coach Jim Brovelli seems satisfied he will. "Scott's the best recruit in our history," Brovelli said, simply. "He's a big, strong, legitimate center, the kind of guy we've always needed to compete at the D1vis10n I level. I can't tell you how excited we are to sign this guy."
