of San _lliego is looking for anot er place to build its day-r are center because the San {?1ego City Cou ril said the proposed site - on a dipping, roller-coaster- like street - 1 too dangerous. The center is part of a $10 million East Campu · addition, which also in• eludes 154 housing units for graduate students, a soccer field and two soft- ball fields. The expansion would add 48 acres to the 116-acre campus. Plans submitted to the city Plan- ning Department caJled for a 5,600- square.foot day-care center on the east side of Via Las Cumbres, north of Lmda Vista Road. he Planning 0111lnL,;s10n un 1· mously approved the university's ex- pansion plans, but objecting Univer- sity Canyon homeowners last week appealed that decision to the council. "I don't thi nk we need to wait for a child to be hit or an accident to occur before we re-evaluate it," USO law student and nearby resident Bill La• Velie told the council, which sided unanimously with the homeowners. Neighbor John Donovan described Via Las Cumbres, which runs through a residential area. "It's very similar to one of those water chutes you see a t amusement parks,'' Donovan said. "I cannot think of a worse position (for a day-care center) because you have that chute- type effect and I'm afraid the results will be tragic.' Deputy Mayor Ed St ruiksma whose district includes the neighbor: hood, called the roadway "a lawsuit waiting to happen." "As far as this project is con- cer~ed, I cannot support a day-care fac1hty there," he said. Councilman Mike Gotch agreed. "The community is correct here " said Gotch, whose district includ~s the university. "The project ought to go forward. The modifications that are being sought here are minimal."

'Political campaign commercials are just that. "They are not the truth." - Steven R. Denton has been thrown into the same wash- ing machine that dec;des evet'y other election . .. "Political campaign commercials are just that,·· he said. "They are not the truth." Bird and Associate Justices Cruz Re no.o and Joseph Grodin - all ap- pointed by former Gov. Edmund G "Jerry'' Brown Jr. - have been tar- geted for defeat by highly publicized, well-fi..'lanced groups that say the three are soft on crime and have failed to uphold the state's death pen- alty law. The justices say they have based their reversals of death penalty en- tences on the legal interpretations and precedent. Denton pointed out that USO Law School graduates irclude prosecu- tors, who largely oppose the reten• tion of Bird, Reynoso and Grodin, and a ye o u port their con- firmation. The action ging an edu- cated decision in November is one that Denton contended all the alumni could support.

In an unprecedented action, the Uruvers1ty of San Diego Law School Alumni Association is urging voters to be wary of political attacks on the state Supreme Court and to make "a reasoned evaluation' of the justice· at the ballot box in November. The association, which has about ;,,000 mi>mbers, did not encourage re• tenhon of Chief Justice Rose Eliza- beth B,rd and the other justices who face confirmation votes Nov. 4. Instead, the 20-rnember boar 1 of directors adopt a ard lly orded resolution that said the fat" of a ma• jority of the upreme Court should not be de.: ed by a response "to media ;;p:-,~JJS which may not fairly charact I ize the qualification of any of th xLc;ting Supreme Court jus- tices.'' Steven R. Denton, past president of the aswciation who drafted the reso- 1ution, said the non-profit group does not endorse candidates and has never taken an action hke this before. The directors, however, believed they should warn about the "emotional, . . . partisan" opposition campaign that he said judges are ill-equipped to counter. "Campaign rhetoric and political announcements are the world's worst way to make decisions," Denton said. 'It's unfair that the Supreme Court

Though the foundation file~ pub- lic, at)nual reports detailing income and ~ndltures with Abbey's of- lice, ·horn and others said they have had difficulty obtaining infor- mation from the foundation office. 1.4.at y , Horn brought his con- rn1 to the county grand jury, which conducted a preliminary re- view but did not find reason to do a full 1nvestigat.Jon. "I have no way of knowing how the}7e spendl11g the money be- caust I have no access to their rec:~." Horn said.

i ~~!2:~~re phy.ical p1t { said the university plan ed the faci ity after much thought. "We really did look at it as a reasonable selection for a day-care center," he said. The council gave the university the go-a~~ad for the expansion, but on condition that it find a better loca- tion for the center. The East Campus addition is need- ed, Zeterberg said, because more and more of .the school's 5,200 students want to hve on campus. Now, 1,400 students live on cam- pus, Zeterberg said. "Basically," he said, "when a uni- yersity builds more student housing, 1t means that the university is in a period of expansion or growth. With us, _that's not the case. We're simply trymg to meet the student needs we have now."
