The United States will continue to lose its hold on this critical mar- ket until we stop exporting the in- tellectual talent necessary to con- duct the scientific, mathematical, computer and engineering research for tomorrow's industries. According to annual surveys by the National Science Foundation, U.S. students are falling behind their foreign counterparts in these critical fields of study. In fact, while the number of U.S. math and science graduate students has de- cllned steadily during the 1980s, the number of foreign students pursu- ing advanced degrees in fields at U.S. u'niversilies has

Pl Kappa Phi has raised more than a half million dollars for a national philanthropy that the fraternityJ _ounded called PUSH (Play Units· for the Severely Handicapped).

scrutinize the California State Bar's haphazard system of d1sc1plinm~ unscrupulous lawyers, he promised to call the as ociation to a strict accounting. And he has kept his word. Five months ago, Fcllmeth, a professor of law at the University of San Diego, produced a preliminary re- port c1 mg~ tcgat prol'l:ssion's inability to police its rank . Hi second evaluation, released last Monday, conclude. that even though the state bar has made ~me progress in going after the bad guys in its ranks 1t. till has a long way to go before California will have "a minimally acceptable di ciplin~ system." One of Fellmeth' better recommendations is that additional investigators be hired to tackle the backlog ~f more than 2,500 case that warrant prompt atten- tion. He would al o give the office of trial counsel the resources to handle special ca es·, .s~cti 'as referrals from pro ecutor of attorneys convicted of crimes. And he would empower a panel of salaried adminis- trative law Judge to cut through the red tape that al- !ows dishonc_st and unethical attorneys to prey upon innocent v,cums. The Fellmeth report drew an expected broadside from Bar President Terry Anderlini, who insists his or- gan1zat1on is cleaning up its own house. He maintains

.Jllk,,', P. C. 8

Anderlini fail~ to mention, however, that an average of 8,000 comp!arnts are ,received annually by the state ~ar,. or approx1_mately one for every 10 lawye"rS practic- ing m California. Consider, for example, the disabled World War 11 veteran from Imperial Beach who hired an attorney last year to help him defend his home and posses~ions against a former live-in girlfriend. After collecting more than $3;000 in fees from the man, his attorney demanded another $2,100 in cash. When his client could not come ur, with the money, the case was dropped . , Such outrages support Fellmeth's charge that the bar's discipline system is "inconsistent, unpredictable and unacceptable." Indeed, these problems nearly pr?n:ipted ,the Legislature last year to h~ve a com- m1ss1on reheve the state bar of its responsitii1ity to han- dle allegations of attorney misconduct. Instead, the lawn:iakers gave_ the association two years to put its dis- credited house m order under the oversight 'of a state- appointed monitor. Given its tenuous situation , the state bar should fol- low Fellmeth's recommendations rather than ca~ about his findings ,
