"We're trying to call attention to the fact that this barrage of (televi- sion) advertising you've been seeing is coming out of your pocket," he said. Common Cause supports Proposi- • lions 100 and 103, which tie rates to driving records and mandate cuts of up to 20 percent. Insurance industry spokesman George Tye said that rates have not been increased to finance the cam- paign and that the $40 million-plus cost partially has been borne by . stockholders. He said defeat of Prop- · ositions 100 and 103 and approval of the two industry-backed measures, Propositions 104 and 106, would save policyholders money. Tye said the millions being spent by the insurance industry were being used to "save consumers billions." "It's a good investment," he said. Proposition 104 would mandate no- fault auto insurance, requiring that policyholders be reimbursed by their own msurance company for damages up to a limit. Tye said no-fault would reduce litigation and cut costs. Prop- osition 106 would cap attorney con- tmgency fees. . The fifth measure, Proposition 101, 1s backed by a maverick insurance executive and would reduce certain components of auto insurance rates. In a related event, the "Yes on Prop. 100" campaign yesterday showed reporters two new television advertisements that claim the insur- ance industry's initiatives and cam- ~aign are misleading. The Proposi- tion 100 campaign is primarily fund- ed by California trial lawyers.

Nad will debate on • insurance O'Connell also on agenda for forum here Sunday A debate between two of the nation's insurance heavyweights, Ralph Nader and Jeffrey O'Connell, headlines a high-powered, comprehensive forum this Sunday on California's complicated insurance ballot initiatives. The forum, which is sponsored by the University of San Diego Jaw school. is aimed at givinglhe vo ers a v1 1c u o e insurance campaign m California that may end up as one of the na- tion's most expensive ballot-box fights. But even as the war among the initiatives heats up on television sets, the forum erupted with its own controversy. The architect of Prop. 101, Harry Miller, yester- day said he withdrew from the event in protest of what he considers ,an unequal division of time among the speakers. In a press release, Miller said he has urged Nader and O'Connell to return their speaking fees, and he has asked other speakers to join the boycott. As of late yesterday, Miller was the only hold- out, and law ~chool acting Dean Grant Morris defended the' obJechv1ty of the forum. Consumer activist Nader and O'Connell, the so- called "Father of No-Fault," will 11ut the insur- ance debate in historical per pective without tak- ing sides, Morris said. Pr nents of each initia- tive then will ask them questions, present arguments for the measures and take questions from Nader and O'Connell. "We want to make all sides available to the public" m a "fair and thorough inquiry," Morris said. "What we are trymg to do 1s shed a little light rather than heat on the issues." Morris acknowledged that Nader has endorsed one of the initiatives, Prop. 103, but he said the consumer activist's comments will be limited to the general debate over insurance reform; he will not be permitted to expound on his support for a specific measure.

class size and applications in- crea~ed. auonally, law school ap- plication rose by about 15% last year, USD's rate increased by 46%. That permitted tighter quality con- trol on the incoming class-a dean's dream. Gerald Uelmen, dean of the Uni- versity of anta Clara Law School, said U D's "admissions profile proves Sheldon has done a ang-up Job. They're attracting a record number of students every year and

more input on decisions, some of which were traditionally faculty decisions." Others said his wife's presence in the law school was a sensillve point for some faculty, who either viewed it as inappropriate or were envious of her success. "I think it was an issue that always hung over him," said Larry Anderson, a professor of con · tional and criminal aw at USD for 19 years. "It didn't affect me.

the faculty agreed that the type of troubles Krantz encountered as dean are commonplace in acade- mia, particularly law schools. In their view, even the most diplo- matically skilled administrator can only survive so long in an environ- ment of thin-skinned scholars with competing projects and ideas. "There was an erosion of collegi- a efore Sheldon go ere, it continued while he was here and it will undoubtedly exist after he leaves," Alexander said. As for his plans, Krantz says he's not sure what he'll do. Private practice is a possibility, as is a return to teaching. For now, he's spending his sabbatical in an office at UC San Diego, serving as "schol- ar in residence" and working on his book, "The Future of the Legal Profession." A former director of Boston University's Center for Criminal Justice, Kr,ntz also will serve as the next chairman of the American Bar Assn.'s prestigious Criminal Justice Council. And it's unlikely his appetite for community activ- ism will peter out. . "I'm sure I'll find things to do," he said with a wry grin. "I don't expect to be bored.''

breedm ground and launch pad for many proiects. One venture, formed Jointly with the Le I Aid oclety m 1983, is the olunt r Lawyer Program, the fir t local system to provide poor copl With lawyers on a pro bono basis Today the program taps a b ilk or 20 attorneys to aid needy 1 1 ts on C VI C e . Crea ve Approathes Community mediation is an area n whi~h the Law Center has been partlc arty active. At two experi- fnental centers, neighbors were tr med to mediate disputes ranging from andlord-tenant disagree- ments tb domestic problems. The resolution rate was 90% when both parties agreed to participate. When grant support for the program ended, Hallstrom persuaded the city to assume funding responsibil- ey. A separate effort, called Alterna- Uves lo Litigation. was designed to relieve courthouse crowd.mg by using retired judges to decide com- m rcial disputes. The program was ~o popular among parties willing to payJor the service, however, that a for-profit "rent-a-judge" business .moved into town. At that pomt, the Law Center withdrew from that arena. In another pioneer venture, Hallstrom In 1986 gathered 20 Iioor, legal, religious and social service groups under the Law enter umbrella to assist undocu- applying for legali - za on -under the federal immigra- tion act At the urging of Krantz, the Law Center board also formed a blue- nhbon" commission that recom- mended abolishing San Diego County's widely criticized system of providing a criminal defense for indigents. A search is now under way for a Public Defender to take over the md1gent defense job. Great Motivator Attorney Dan Grindle, chairman of the Law Center's Board of Directors, said such accomplish- ments grew out of Krantz's skill "as the ultimate politician-and I mean that in a complimentary way. ''Sheldon has an uncanny ability t,o,, rnot1Vate people. Generating gr.an funds, mobihzmg volunteers artd taking dollars to support these programs from an already over- 1,iurdeped university budget takes Herculean efforts," Grindle said. "Sheldon made it look easy." On ,campus, meanwhile, Krantz built en seeds planted by Donald Wee tem, his predecessor in the deanship and now a tenured pro- f r-sa U D. During Weckstein's n, d , ool's tudent body expanded, the faculty grew m s1Ze and stature. master's programs in law were instituted, iznd 'D's highly acclaimed sum- mer foreign programs in compara- tive law were founded. De~ite such strides, USD-part- lybecallse of its youth-remained a schoot with a reputation largely )Jmiteil to Southern California in 1-981. Krantz. many observers say, tieganlo change that. "Kr ntz has great national con- nections. He brought a touch of ~od nism to USO and started to ov~ :uie school upward, into the big leagues," said John Cleary, a criminal defense attorney who has Uiught at USO. "They had been in tl'(e benign middle, muddhng along. Ete was a breath of fresh air." Dunng Krantz's tenure, both

are very tough competition for us and other private California law schools." Krantz also measures up well in terms of fund raising, an impera- tive for private schools that lack a pubhc funding pipeline. In 1980, the year before Krantz arrived at USD, about $6,000 in donations was con- tributed to the law school by 70 alumni, university figures show. In 1986, $60,000 was contributed by 545 alumni. At the law center, about $1 million in grants and government contracts wa brought in during Krantz's tenure; Grindle said all but 24,000 was raised through the efforts of Hallstrom and Krantz. Finally, the university is $2 mil- hon down the road toward con- struction of its $6 million law hbrary expansion. One area m which Krantz feels he had the least success is curricu- lum reform. Like many of his contemporaries, Krantz is a strong believer that legal education needs a new emphasis on ethics and professional responsibility- strengths the public rarely attrib- utes to attorneys these days. But attempts to implement that goal- at USO and many other law schools-have been resisted by faculty who believe the traditional way of molding legal mim:is is the best way. "Our need, as I see it, is lo focus more on policy and values as opposed to substantive law, doc- trine and analytical reasoning," said Krantz. "We're trying to build that into the curriculum. But there is resistance and a lack of agree- ment on how best to do it." Two USO committees are study- ing the question. Already, the number f hou f rs devote to professional responsibility issues m class has increased. Krantz says that it was in this area of "searching for ways to change legal education" that he was caught in the cross fire be- tween "a variety of disagreements" among faculty members. He said there were also ongoing divisions over "whether we should empha- size internal activities or communi- ty work, whether more time should be spent on fund raising or faculty activities." Some faculty members say Krantz's leadership style-de- scribed by Prof. Friedman as "not highly consultative"-irked some professors. "People wanted him to practice the politics of inclusion, a la Mi- chael Dukakis," former dean Weckstem said. "They wanted

Depending on whom I hear it [the complaint] from, it either sounds totally Justified or totally ridicu- lous." Sister Furay conceded that the issue rankled some faculty mem- bers. But she said university poli- cies eliminated any potential im- proprieties. "It's always a delicate situation and we have policy statements that govern such things," Furay said. "Whenever Carol's salary situation came up, Sheldon had nothing to do with it . . Still, some faculty members do not believe 1t was hedged sufficiently." Perhaps surprisingly, professors say the faculty split over Krantz's deanship did not fall along conser- vative and liberal lines. Despite his leftist orientation, the scholar- who began his career as a trial attorney for the Justice Depart- ment's Organized Crime and Rack- eteering Section-had many con- servative allies, among them Bernard Siegan, a Libertarian and unsuccessful nominee for the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. Some professors who shared his political agenda and supported his ideas nonetheless had gripes about his management style. In any event, most members of

hisuragce: Forl1Iti.wil1 offer Nader Continued from 8-1 A spokeswoman for the law school said Miller's seat will be held open for his reconsideration. The USO forum, which begins at 7 p.m. in the 1,000-seat Camino The- ater, is the only full analysis of the initiatives in the state so far, accord- ing to Moms. Reservations are re- quired and can be made by calling 260-4650. Both Nader and O'Connell have been leaders in the national insur- ance debate over the past 25 years. Nader has opposed no-fault concepts in favor of insurance reform O'Con- nell pioneered no-fault concepts now in effect in 24 states. After the Nader-O'Connell debate the following speakers will talk about the insurance initiatives: Har- vey Levine, president-elect of the California Trial Lawyers Associa- tion, Prop. 100; Harvey Rosenfield head of Voter Revolt to Cut Insur~ ance Rates, Prop. 103; and Sam Sor- ich, insurance industry representa- tive, Props. 104 and 106.
