The Lions did most of their hitting in the first half, as they were within two, 45-43, at in- termission. That had to be en- couraging in that L~U totaled just 48 points while losing by 34 on a visit to San Diego earlier in the year.

Manor contributed three of his six three-pointers in the second half. When Manor got into foul trouble, Marty Munn came off the bench to score 10 second-half points.

"In the second half we wanted to get the ball inside and then kick it back out to the ~ards because they were shooting so well early," said Westhead. "But we ended up missing a lot of shots inside." The Lions shot just 44.6 percent (29 of 65) from the field . The Toreros connected on 39 of 68 field goals (57.4 percent), includ- ing 11 of 22 from three-point range.

As Armstrong eyed the shot, a rugby ball flew in his direction. The officials called time out and had a warning issued to the crowd about throwing objects on the floor. Armstrong missed his first free throw before netting a second shot to cut the USO lead to 71-59. But the Toreros outscored LMU 16-6 in the next five minutes to put the game away. "It shouldn'.t have happened," said Egan of the errant ball. "I wish I knew who threw it. I may coach another 50 years and not see something like that again. "First of all it's not fair .to anybody.

.:2}, §:) ;,,-- ess sc 100 puts quality first By Donald C. Bauder, Financial Editor Jim Burns is succeeding in an endeavor in which just about everybody else in San Diego County is failing: He has stopped the growth to concentrate on quality. Burns, who got his doctorate at Harvard in 1968, is dean of U~ity of San Diego's School of Business Administration. When he took over there in 1975, there were 250 business school students arid seven faculty members. N~w there are 1,500 students and 47 faculty members (all but two with doctorates). And the school since 1984 has been in the new $4.3 mil- lion Olin Hall, whose communications and computer equipment is considered among the best in the United States. But from now on, USD's undergraduate en- rollment will be stupped at t,000 declared ma- jors. That's how many there are now, along with a couple of hundred non-declared majors and 350 graduate students. (The business school has the biggest enrollment in the university.) With the lid on undergraduate growth, Burns is concentrating on three innovative new pro- grams at the graduate level. By 1993 or 1994, he expects to have 600 graduate stud~nts or more. USD's undergraduate program got accredi- tation from the American Assembly of Collegi- ate Schools of Business in 1980 and the gradu- ate school in 1981. Now both are up for reac- creditation, and the assembly's visitation committee commented that Burns' plan for "major quality improvement" is "ambitious, appropriate and feasible." For some time, there was only one graduate program - in business administration. Two years ago, the school launched its M.I.B. pro- gram - Masters in International Business. It already has 40 students - double the number at the outset. "We've pulled together strengths from Arts & Sciences as well as the B School," said Burns.

The Civil-Rights Nominee Q-~~s

We've seen the correspondence be- tween Cato editor David Boaz and Mr. Siegan. There was no reference to Brown in Mr. Siegan's article. Indeed, Mr. B?az wrote that "from ~h_e _c?n· text I mfer that you are not cnticizmg Brown vs. Boar~ of Education, and other desegregation cases, but only busing, quotas and other measures to force• integration." In _its issue dated Feb. 28, the Legal Tunes has pub- lished a "clarification." This acknow- !edged that "Mr. Siegan made no ref- erence to Brown" in any draft of the article. So there is not even a teapot Which brings us to wh~t M~. Sie- gan doe.~ believe. Along With Richard Epstein of the University of Chicago, he is the leading proponent of the re- viva! of property rights under the Con- stitution. Mr. Siegan's 1980 ~k, "Economic Liberties and the Constitu- lion," traces how pressure froi:n, FDR caused t~e Supreme Court to dilute o_r abandon its enforcement of the Constl· tution's protibition of taking property without due pro~ess of law. By now, government ~akmgs of pnvate prop- erty occur without adequate compen- sation so frequently that the Supreme Court is hearing four takings cases Mr. Siegan's philosophy does not mean he would substitute his judg· ment for the policy decisions of the elected branches; it does mean he would urge his fellows on the bench to pay more attention to the text of the Constitution when laws cost citizens their jobs, homes or factories. In short, Mr. Siegan defends economic threat often focuses on poorer and less powerful citizens. For example, Mr. Siegan has written that zoning laws "have been deliberately used to ex- elude would-be tenants and less afflu· The Brown red herring is par for the vicious attacks on Reagan nomin· ees.

Even before the Dei:rrocrats took control, the Senate Judiciary Commit- tee was a hotbed of character assassi- nation in the Meese-Reynolds-Manion- Rehnquist inquisitions. Under Chair- man Joe Eiden, Target No. 1 of the dqzens of Reagan judicial nominees awaiting hearings turns out to be Ber- nard S1egan, a Univers· f San has nominated for the Ninth Circuit Appeals Court in California. While Chairman Eiden was the rmgleader in the previous excursions, he has turned the torture instruments over to four fellow Democrats, ap- pQmting Sens. Pat Leahy, Howard Metzenbaum, Paul Simon and token moderate Howell Heflin to run inter- ference on judicial appointments. But they've stumbled badly their first time out, in a bizarre episode that shows how far the liberals are willing to reach to torch the president's ap· pomtments. The whole attack focuses not on what Mr. Siegan thinks, but on what they like to think he thinks. An article in the Legal Times on Feb. 2 predicted "the new Congress's first full·blown fight" because Mr. Siegan had "roundly criticized" the Brown vs. Board of Education deci· s1on. The usual knees jerked. "Cer- tainly he's going to be questioned closely about that " pronounced Pea- pie for the Amenc~n Way. "There ap- pear to be some serious problems re· garding the nomination," said civil- nghts lobbyist Ralph Neas. The Fed· eration of Women Lawyers declared that his views "cast grave doubt on his commitment to the Constitution and laws of the U.S." Chairman Eiden sent word to the Justice Department that he was in no hurry to schedule Trouble was, Mr. Siegan never wrote or said any such thing. The al· leged information came from an un· named source at the Cato Institute, which in 1984 published an article he wrote on judicial restraint. The Legal Times reported that editors had de- leted references to Brown "too contra· Die~fess resident Reagan hearings on Mr. Siegan.

Heading up the planning effort are (doctorate George Washington) and Bill Soukup (doctorate Purdue). Burns has other plans for graduate programs, too, as tire USD program expands. The major graduate focus will continue to be on the part-timers who take classes at night: "We at- tract students whose test scores and grades would get them admitted to Stanford and Harvard," said Burns.

(Students take an intense four-week foreign language workshop - six hours a day. Spanish, French and German are all on the agenda. Japa- nese can't be taught in four weeks, no matter how bright the students are, The MIB students also take inter- national finance, accounting, eco- nomics, management and marketing courses in the business school. There are only about a dozen such schools in the United States now. "We intend to be one of the top four or five in the country. We're very close now," said said Burns.)
