11 Tremendous Loss~· Krantz To Resif[Il As USDLaw~ fJJJ] Dean ByPAU~ERiP.\RD San Diego Daily Trans,r/pt Sl,ff Writer Sheldon Krantz, dean cf Univer- sity of San Die&2_School o aw for six years, plans on resigni~ his Job to pursue other interests. He will finish out this school year, then take a year's sabbatical to complete a book on the legal pro- fession before qmttmg. "It's just that being dean of a law school is difficult these days," Krantz said yesterday after the school announced his decision. "I've reached the point where it seemed this should be my last year. So much work goes on outside the law school - we're in a fundraising effort now to raise $6 million for a new law library It's the constant pressure and confiict oftime." Krantz, 49, was a professor at (Continued on Pag14AJ .• :.i;'"lit our careers.., His book, tentatively titled "The Future of the Legal Profession," wili require traveling the country for interviews of lawyers, clients, lobbyists and others He said he will examine the law profession, what people think of it and how it should be changed. Reaction around the local legal community was unanimous in the view USD will be losing a major as,set when Krantz leaves in 1989. "It's a tremendous loss - he's done ,so much," commented attar• ney James Lorenz of Finley, Kum- ble, Wagner. Heine, Underberg, Manley, Myerson & Casey. "He's always conscious of the needs, and willing to fill in the void, to be constructive in the community and create solutions to problems." Lorenz serves on the Law Center Advisory Board, chaired by Craig Higgs, of Higgs, Fletcher & Mack. "He's been an extremely effec- tive dean," opined Higgs yester• day. "What he's accomplished for the school and the legal community is remarkable. He has increased the stature of the school nationally, and is an integral force in the legal community." A colleague, Western University Law School Dean Hadley Bat- chelder, noted the average tenure for a law school dean is only two or three years. "I wish him well," said Bat- chelder. "I'm sorry he's stepping down, but every once in a while it's time for a change." Krantz has led two delegations of law professors and judges to China, Combust. Eng. Dividend Combustion Engineering has declared a regular quarterly divi- dend of 25 cents per share, payable Oct. 30, 1987, to shareholders of record Oct. 16. Burke, who previously worked with retailers in Louisiana and Texas, said he has been very favor- ably impressed by the work ethic and positive attitude of his staff here. Under its flexible staffing plan, the Oceanside store employs between 200 to 300. Owned by Dayton Hudson Corp. a~d now in its 25th year, Target will boast 91 stores in the state by year's end. Saturday it also op~ned stores in El Cajon and En- cm1tas, and a new store in Escon- dido will open on West Valley Parkway next month. The first '.f arget store opened in Minnesota m 1962. Seniority plan approved . Calavo Growers of Califor- ma and workers at its closing Es- condido packinghouse have agreed to a seniority plan for employees who relocate to the cooperative's 2-ye~r-old plant in Temecula, ac- cord.mg to Roger Sommer, vice president of human resources Both sides had been sear~hmg f~r 3:n eq':'itable way to handle se- monty with regard to layoffs and recalls, which are needed frequent- ly as the size of the avocado crop fluctuates during the year. The plan, which was acceptable to members of the Vista Avocado Workers Association, according to Ken.Carroll, former president of the !n-house union, gives any Escondido employees hired in Te-

Under his leadership over the years, the Law Center has initiated an alternatives to litigation pro- gram, community dispute media- tion centers, a VoluntE!'er Lawyer Program involving 600 local attor- neys, and the Mexico-US. Law In- stitute. Krantz was born in Omaha and earned his law oegree at Universi- ty of Nebraska, where he was edi- tor ofLaw Review . Between 1962•67 he worked as a Justice Department trial attorney, was in private practice, then serv- ed as staff attorney for the Presi- dent's Commission on Law En• forcement and the Administration of Justice. He served three years, to 1970, as executiv<> director of a govern- or's justice panel in Massachusetts. Then he accepted a teaching job at Boston University law school He spent 1978 as v1s1ting pro fessor at Hebrew University's In- stitute of Criminology in Israel, and he has been active in Amen- can Bar Association committees on prisons and criminal justice. USO President Author Hughes stated that, "Since Sheldon has been at USD, he has done much to improve the law school's stature, both in this community and na- tionally. We feel a real lo that Sheldon has decided to step down." The law school reports enroll ment at 1,100, with about 150 full-time and 65 part-time facult . This fall's entering class of 4 students is the largest for the 23- year-old law school Superior Court Judge Richard Huffman, who has served on the USO faculty, said Krantz "has done an enormous amount to im- prove the image and quality of USO law school." La Mesa lawyer Daniel Tobin, a founder with Krantz of the T ,aw Center - and former law pa ner to Attorney General Edwin •ese - said he didn't expect K1 ntz' resignation announcement, but noted the job "demands a ,Teat deal." Though there was some s• gges- t;on through the legal comn unity that internal Jaw school pre ,sures may have played a part in 1' rantz' decision, the dean dowr >layed their importance. "It is always true there Jre dif- ferences of opinion m the direction of a law ,achoo!, or any operation," he said. "The issue is Just the amount of time involved. I can't imagine doing this for a number of· years more. 'Tm very pleased that there is a strong perception the law school has moved up into the upper tiers of schools, and it's less than 30 years old. We're definitely on the map as a good school."

Precision Circuits, a manu- facturer of printed circuit boards in Kearny Mesa, will move to San Marcos in the next two to three weeks. Paul McEvoy, who owns the 3-year-old firm with his father Bill McEvoy, said they are mak~ ing the move "mostly for elbow room and room for future growth " but they will hire two or three ne~ employees immediately.
