1888 Jury picked to decid~)St~ Lucas case Almost four years after his arrest in the death of a University of San Di~o student, a jury hasbeen selec_t- ed to try David Allen Lucas on six counts of murder in the deaths of four women and two children and the att mpted murder of a fifth woman. Superior Court Judge Laura Palm- er Hammes directed the jury of six women and six men and six alter- nates selected to hear the case to re- turn Jan. 3 for the start of the trial, which is expected to last six months. If the jury convicts Lucas of first- degree murder on any of the counts and finds true special-circumstance allegations that have been filed against him, the 33-year-old former Casa de Oro carpel cleaner could be condemned to die in the state's gas chamber. Much of the past four years in the Lucas case has been tied up in l n a d complicated pretrial motions. Lucas will be on trial for: • The ov. 20, 1984, slaying of USO student Anne Catherine Swanke, 20. • The Oct 23, 1984, slayings of Rhonda Strang. 24, and Amber Fisher, 3, a girl Strang was baby- sitting in her Lakeside home. • The May 4. 1979, slayings of Su- zanne Camille Jacobs, 31, and her son, Colin, 3, in their Normal Heights home. • And the Dec. 8, 1981, slaying of real estate agent Gayle Garcia, 29, whose body was found in a Spring Valley home she was to show a pro- spective buyer the day she was slain. Lucas also is charged with at- tempting to kill Jodie Santiago Rob- ertson, 35, of Seattle, who survived her injuries to testify against and identify Lucas as her assailant. The victims suffered severe throat-slashings.

f.51, 1888 Envoys say trade bars would hurt ~ The non-Communist countries of Southeast Asia are so dependent on the free market and free-trade prin- ciples fostered by the United States since World War II that the enact- ment of protectionist barriers in this country could derail their economic development and cause regional ins- tability, envoys from that area said here yesterday. ''There could be serious undermin- ing of the prosperity and stability of our reg10n if one of the trad_e pillars of our wmning strategy - namely the open-market system - is put in jeopardy," Albert S. Talalla, Malay- sia's ambassador to the Umted States, said at a U · ersity of San Diego program on U.S. rela ions with So hea,t Asia The envoys also said that changing domestic and global conditions bring pressure on the United States to make adjustments in its relation- ships with the six nations that belong to the Association of Southeast A~1an Nations. A Philippines repre enta- tive pomted to the knntty negoha- tions covermg U.S. m1litar bases as an example of that pressure. Although one member of the USO audience criticized the "hard-nosed' negotiating stance of President Cora• zon Aquino's government, Raul Rabe, deputy chief of m1SSion of the Philippine Embassy, defended the substantially increased economic aid his government sought from the Umted States m return for prov1d· ing Clark air and Subic naval bases. "We have differing interests, par- ticularly in light of our differences in SJZe, economic development and mil- itary power," Rabe said. ''The United States seeks bases in Manila because of its global powers. The Philippines is more concerned with our very se- rious problems with the economy the Communist insurgency and with brmging stability to our country.'

Raiders managed to do. After beating New Mexico and Cal Luther- an, the Torcros (3-2J lost 76-58 to a good UC- Santa Barbara team on the road and were edged 68-66 by Cal State-Fullerton at home. The losses are not the problem, but the way the teams played was, The youngsters on ~oth teams, w_ho had had rattled some cages m the early wms, suddenly became a bit rat- tled An example for SDSU: Freshman for- ward Dana Jackson, who will be needed to provide inside depth, played eight minutes against Texas Tech and collected five fouls. "It is important for us to get additional playing time for our freshmen," Brandenburg said. The reason is simple. In both the case of USD and SDSU the time for the freshmen to play like freshmen (and sophmores like ophomores where the Toreros are concern- ed I i past. Each team's success will depend m part on their ability to play beyond their tender years. "What we're looking for is progress from game to game." aid Egan. "We started out the sea on pretty well, went down to the Pit and beat New Mexico. But we kind of stayed where we were. We need to get a drive going here; if we don't get it in another gear we're going to be in deep trouble." ' The gomg gets tougher now. After a road game at Arizona State aturday, the McDonald's Classic (Hardin-Simmons, Ten- nc ee and University of Alabama at Birm- ingham) and WAC season await for the Aztecs. Play in the West Coast Athletic Con- ference is around the corner for USD. . "We're starting to get close to some very important games," Brandenburg said. "So we have to tart showing major, major im- provement." The Aztec coach knows exa<'tly where he wants that improvement. At thi:, point m the eason, Brandenburg can tolerate some turn- over· better than he can stomach being timid. "Eventually what we have to do is play hard," Brandenburg said. "Once you get a level of mtenslt;, your guys play hard physi- cally and mentally, then the fines es of the game will make a difference " So Brandenburg and Egan wait at the helm still not certain whether they have embarked on a pleasure cruise or a shipwreck.

v Lemon Oinic awyer re igns p~sJ, quits Bar By Lorie Hearn n_. er Staff Writer ,:7 Raphael Levens, a San Diego attorney who ran the Lemon Clinic for consumers with complaints about their cars, has resigned from the State Bar of California and relinqmshed his clients' files. State Bar lawyer Victoria Molloy said Levens' resignation was submitted this ~ee~. and yesterday she secured a Superior Court order giving the Bar Juns_d1ction over his law pra<'tice. Levens, wh~ was graduate~ from the University of San Diego law school and has been hcens~d to practice law in Californias~tof one legal malpractice lawsuit and reported complaints by other clients.

Attorney Joseph Mitts, who heads the San Diego County Bar Associa- tion's disability committee, said he had spoken with Levens but did not know why he had resigned. According to Mitts, Levens wrote the disability committee and re- quested that it contact his clients and help them find new lawyers. His files, which Mitts estimate number between 50 and 80, are at the associa- tion office. "He was very well thought of," Mitts said. De pite the reputation among some lawyers, Levens was sued a month ago by Jackie McDermott, formerly of Oceanside, for profes- sional negligence, fraud, deceit and emotional distress. Her attorney, Brad Patton of Carlsbad, said McDermott had re- tained Levens to sue a used car deal- ership over dPfects in a car she pur- chased. Levens told her the case was pend- ing, Patton said, but alleges she found out later be had settled with the dealer, forged her named on the check, and made some payments to her only after she confronted hiL

Abusiness eco- omics major, he has an overall ade-point average of.3.78 and led the Toreros in tackles with 88. Gomez, a 6-1, 223-pound senior de- f nsive tackle from El Cajon, was a ·· nr:1-team choice. Gomez, who carries a 3.60 GPA in business ad- lpistration, had 34 tackles and led th~ team with eight quarterback wries." ,Bryan has done an outstanding jpb for us and I'm happy to see John t the recognition," Coach Brian Fo- arty said. "They are both exc~lent student-athletes." ?-"t .:; ")

His seven 3-pointers were one shy of the USO team record held by Mark Manor. Al one point in the first half, he scored 18 consecutive points for the Toreros over a span of 6:20. In the first half, il seemed he would beat Seattle Pacific on his own. He scored 21 points; the Falcons had 22. But Means only played 13 minutes 6 seconds in the half. He played only 11,06 in the second half but scored USD's first five pomts to give the Toreros a 51-24 lead. This was a blowout from the tipoff. Means drilled a 3-pointer to start the scoring followed, by 6 consecutive points from junior Craig Cottrell (16 points and a game-high 7 rebounds) and a layup by Gylan Dottin (13 points, 4 rebounds), USO led. 14-5, when Means went on his scoring binge and 32-13 before it was over. USD's biggest lead of the game was 30 points with 4:50 remaining;,.

You would not have known by his performance Saturday night when the U ~Sli.1 .o£..San Diego men's basketball learn routed Seat- tle Pacific Umversity, 86-66, in the USO Sports Center. Through USD's first five games Means' field-goal accuracy w~ 34%. From 3-point range, he was making only 31 %, from the free- throw line, a dismal 50%. In the team's last game, against Cal State Fullerton, Means did not start for the first time in 63 games. What was wrong with Danny Means-the captain, leader, one of only two seniors and the only true veteran on Coach Hank Egan's sqi.;ad? Confidence, he said. Well, Means got a head full of it on _a career-high scoring night agamst an NCAA Division II team playing its only Division I opponent of the year. Seattle Pacific (6-1) lost for the first time.
