Jorge Vargas To Head USD's· Mexico-U.S. Law Institute

I

•

Jorge A. Vargas, noted inter- national authority on the taw of the sea, has been named director of the Mexico-U.S. Law Institute University of San Diego School of Law, effective August 1. Vargas describes the Institutes as "the only institute in the country devoted to the analysis of legal issues between the two nations." Sheldon Krantz, law school dean, in making the announce- ment, said that Vargas will also serve on the USO faculty as professor of law. "Dr. Vargas' achievements and knowledge are truly impressive," Krantz said. "We are convinced he will do an exciting job of building the Institute." Presently visiting research fellow with the UCSD Center for U.S.-Mexican Studies, Vargas has served as director of the International Relations Area at the Center for Economic and Social Studies of the Third World, where he was also head of the Law of the Sea Department from 1978 to 1982; as deputy director of the Office of International Fisheries Affairs, Mexico City; legal advisor to the chairman, Intergovernmental Oceanograp- hic Commission, UNESCO; and as a member of the Mexican delegation to the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea. He is currently coordinating a model program for training human resources in the utilization of marine resources, an OAS-UNESCO program to be launched in Mexico in mid- May and later to be offered in Africa and Asia.

Vargas is the author of eight books and numerous articles on international law, diplomacy, science and technology, and marine affairs . He holds degrees from the National Autonomous University of Mexico and from Yale School of Law, and was an Adlai E. Stevenson Fellow with the U.N. Institute for Training and Research and a postdoctoral fellow with the Ocean Studie Program, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. The Mexico-U.S. Law Institute was established last fall by the USO School of Law to expand knowledge of the legal systems in the two countries, to undertake research and development projects emphasizing the reduc- tion of unnecessary legal barriers to cooperation, to stimulate exchange of faculty and students, to increase the number of Mexican-American law students attending USO, and to focus national attention on important legal issues affecting the two countries. Activities of the Institute in the past several months have included training and legal education programs for lawyers, academicians, students, and corporate executives, with prominent Mexican attorneys and professors of law serving as faculty. Vargas' plans also include: a comprehensive publication program; the development of a complete legal library, with a data bank on Mexican Law, to be housed at the USO Law Library; and clinical activities, including clerkships in Mexico for USD students.

ubtract clutter to add quality B Jerry Windle Tribune Slilff Pbotocraphcr The wiewfinder is an important tool on your camera. Unfortunately, it's often taken for granted resulting in poorly composed pictures. The reason is simple. We tend to get "sloppy" when taking pictures We see a subject, aim the camera and ·nap the shutter But, did we really take the time to loo_k at the entire viewfinder. If we didn't, we may regret 1t when the ictures are processed. One of t e more common problems resulting from m proper use of the viewfinder is show m the picture of the girl on the University of San Diego campus. You'll notice, mone of the pictures, there is a tree "growing" out of her head This is the kmd of picture you may come up with wh n not paying attention You concentrate so much on th subJect, the tree is never seen! The second picture is more pleasing. The only differ• ence 1 a slight change in camera position. Another problen which turns up when not paying attcn tion is shown in the next set of pictures. A white bench m the lower nght hand corner is distracting to the vie er Again. you may never notice something like thJS until it's too late Aslight change in camera angle eliminates th bench So. what's the best way to use the viewfinder? First, select the subject and compose your picture in the viewfinder. Once you have everythmg you like, ha e focused the camera, check the ENTHlE viewfinder to see 1f things like trees or benches may be present. If o change camera angle or position and reneat the process This i:; a good time to check the depth-of-field as well Most cameras and some lenses have " rev ew" butt ns which stop the lens down to the ftop reqwred Al that time, check the background to sec 1f any unwant d items ill be in sharp focus If they are, use a larger ftop or change po ition. The viewfinder is desii; •ed to give you an idea of how the fmal picture is gom to appear. Using thf' fi e correctly will not only sav i m, but will impr picture .

EVENING TRIBUNE IAY 1 6 1983 Golden Hill mediates its disputes

And by quickly resolving residents' complaintsJ the center can reduce frustrations and help keep small disputes from erupting into hostility or even violence. Golden Hill is a good place to start. It is a com- munity in whir.h people of different races, nationali- ties, religions a·nd economic levels live in close quarters. The mediation center can help smooth out some of the cultural clashes and misunderstandings that inevitably occur in a mixed neighborhood. We hope the mediation center achieves its goals and becomes a model for .similar centers in other San Diego neighborhoods. Minor neighborhood disputes shouldn't wind up in court. But. they are important to the people experi- encing the problems and neoo to be resolved.

AN UNUSUAL expenment in solving neighbor- hood d sputes without going to court is under way in one of our central-area communities. The Golden Hill Mediation Center recently opened its doors. In its first two weeks, about 20 cases have been referred to it. The idea is to settle minor problems such as a dispute over the neighbors' common fence or com- plaints bout barking ogs and loud stereos. About 16 memuers of the community have volunteered to be med1 tors and have undergone training. The mediation project, part of the University-of San Diego Law Center's Dispute Resolution Center, is an excellent means of keeping neighborhood problems from further dogging our overburdened court system.
