• The St. Mary's Gaels' bead coach Lynn Nance sald of the fifth place prediction, "That's pretty much where we are right now." Also, guard Sly Hunter (of Lowell High School) broke his ankle in a pickup basketball game and will be placed on med- ical redshlrt. • The Gonzaga Bulldogs hope experience makes up for heavy losses in the frontcourt. SAN DIEGO DECIMATED • The University of San Diego 24-6 and 13-1 in league play. Hardest to fill will be the high- tops of center Scott Thompson, last season's WCAC player of the year. To make matters worse, the only two seniors on this year's team - center Jim Pelton and swingman Marty Munn - have missed most of the preseason practices with injuries. • The University of Portland Pilots have a new head coach, former Portland Trailblazer Larry Steele. It's too bad Steele can't suit up and strengthen his team' weak backcourt. 8-TEAM PLAYOFF All ls not lost if your favorite team finishes in last place. All eight WCAC teams will play in the WCAC Port-Season Tourna- ment at Santa Clara's Toso pavil- ion. Last season, four teams competed in the tournament. WCAC commlbsioner Michael Gllleran admitted that the league ls still tinkering with post-season match-ups. "We don't know what the perfect format ls," he said. USF's Brovelll also suggested some changes for the tourna- ment. "It would be ideal If It was held t a neutral site," he said. "that makes ltfalr for everyone."

Sophomore guard Kevin Ellis, senior forward Pat Giusti and senior guard Keith Jackson round out the roster. Brovelll said a tough non- conference schedule should adequately prepare the Dons for league play. He added that the opener against Southwest Missouri State might be the Don's toughest game of the se on. AQUICKLOOK As for rest of the WCAC, the Bib teal quote, ''He who Is first shall be last, and he who ls last hall be first " might apply. Here's a look t each team in the order of their predicted finish: • The Loyola Marymount Llons finished in WCAC cellar last y r. Prognosticators have reserved the penthouse for them this se son.

ants. "At those meetings, I was usually the only one in the audience," she said. "The board got to know me and listened to what I had to say." J.l§D law students interviewed abouf1Tie center agreed that cover- ing the hearings has been helpful to their careers. "The advantage is that I'm getting actual experience at the meetings, rather than theory in the classroom," Karen Gleason Huss, said. "I came to USD law school be- cause of the center. I knew about it because I. used its resources when I was getting my master's in public administration at San Diego State University. "I decided I wanted to come here (USD) to combine my public adminis- tration degree with a law degree. The center was the perfect way to go." Fellmeth and his assistant, Julie D' Angelo, are proud of the reception the center's Journal is getting in both legal and legislative circles. "One of the biggest things for us is that the Journal is beginning to be cited in court decisions," Fellmeth said. "It also is being used in Sacra- mento among legislators and state officials. "We have about 1,000 subscribers, including lawmakers, law libraries, trade unions and lawyers."

different agencies in their second year at the center. They usually have one large one, such as the California Bar or the California Board of Medi- cal Quality Assurance, and two smaller agencies. They pick up agendas of the meet- ings in advance, so they are well- informed on the i$SUes. They get a modest travel budget from the cen- ter to attend meetings, usually for one day, in Sacramento and other California cities. The students are responsible for writing quarterly reports on their particular agencies, and these are published in the center's California Regulatory Law Reporter. Kate Turnbull, a third-year stu- dent, and her classmate, Jenni Baines, are helping the center pre- pare a class-action suit against the Califorma Board of Medical Quality Assurance, charging it violated the civil rights of foreign medical stu- dents. Turnbull, who attended the board meetings last year, contends the board is discriminating against such students by delaying the issuance of their licenses, and at the same time favoring graduates of American medical schools. The board has de- nied this claim. To illustrate the variety of experi- ences, Turnbull said she also moni- tored hearings of a little-known board that licenses physicians' assist-

UCAN regularly battled SDG&E's rate-increase requests in the PUC hearings and succeeded in saving San Diego ratepayers about $150 million in potential rate hikes, Shames esti- mated. He noted that the U.S. Supreme Court in 1986 ruled that the inserts were a violation of the utility compa- ny's First Amendment rights and were discontinued. But UCAN's membership has grown to 75,000 and continues to be a force in consumer advocacy, Shames said. Fellmeth said he and the law stu- dents found a number of the agencies they monitored should be eliminated because they are either ineffective or unnecessary. "Of the 85 agencies we monitor, I once made a list of 15 which should be dissolved," he said. "But it is vir- tually impossible to dissolve them, because many are funded by the in- dustries they oversee and they pro- tect their own. "We did succeed in abolishing one, the Board of Fabric Care, which li- censes dry cleaners. In 10 years the agency had disciplined only one per• son." Students at the center take Fellmeth's course, "California Ad- ministrative Laws and Practices," in conjunction with their agency assign- ments. Most students are assigned three
