Brandenburg says. "But that doesn't mean I haven't encled up with high- profile athletes." Now, this isn·t to take anythrng away from USP's H~k Egan, who ls a marvelous coach in his own right, but even Hank would have to admit that USO doesn't have the things going for1r- -me- facility, the size of the student body, the budget and a Di vision I football program - that does SDSU. Brandenburg has these things. And he is In a spot where he should at least be able to recruit the Branden- burgian athlete. Even better. All he needs is a little time Next year, bis little team will im- prove. In redshirt transfers Sean Bell and Michael Best, he has two ath- letes who can flat play. "I don't like to talk about them," Jim says. "They haven't put one fanny in the seats." Still, they are here. And San Diego, never known for producing an overa- bundance of high school prospects, is changing. There is Division I talent growing in this town right now. So

much so that this actually could be- come a recruiting base. "We can't allow the blue chip play- er to leave San Diego," Brandenburg says. "We need a solid nucleus from San Diego. And I think that nucleus is on the horizon. "The real answer to recruiting is to create a reason for the student/athlete to come to San Diego State. We have to create that atmos- phere." Brandenburg is pleased with his progress. He is in a league in which he feels six teams - BYU, Wyoming, Texas-El Paso, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado State - have legiti• mate chances to make the NCAA Tournament. His head is above water. "We can become a factor at the enci of the conference season and iq the Western Athletic Conference (he never calls it WAC) Tournament," Jim says. "There still are some benchmarks this season. The Aztecs aren't dead yet." For now, we'll leave it at that. L

qu~t'E,ditoria[ ________________ Bar cfi~iplinary system faces overhaul

San Gabriel Valley Tribune In a speech before the Lawyers Oub of San Diego, State Bar Asso- ciation President Terry Anderlini ac- knowledged that the association's lax system of disciplining attorneys is "not one we can be proud of." After this classic understatement, Anderlini announced that membership dues would be increased by 68 percent next year to help pay for long-overdue improvements in the disciplinary sys- tem. Many lawyers are upset at having to pay $450 in annual dues during the next three years, instead of the current $276. But they will be even more unhappy if the state assumes complete control of the discipline process. And that's precisely what will happen if the at- torneys don't get their house in order. Each year, the State Bar receives roughly 11,000 client complaints, or approximately one for every 10 law- yers practicing in California.

there is little chance they will receive prompt attention. A small staff of un- derpaid investigators cannot keep pace with an ever-increasing caseload, which accounts for the current backlog of 1,500 cases awaiting investigation. Little wonder that so few attorneys are suspended or disbarred in California In 1987, the Legislature al.most cre- ated an independent commission to handle allegations of lawyer miscon- duct, thereby relieving the State Bar of that responsibility. But the lawmakers had second thoughts and gave the law- yers two more years to make things right under the oversight of a state- appointed watchdog. Fortunately, that oveoVY js Robert Fellmeth, a professor o a.w at the University of San D1eso and director of~a91's eerrter for Public Inter- est Law. His credentials include highly suc- cessful stints as a deputy district at- torney for San Diego County and spe- cial assistant U.S. attorney specializ- ing in the prosecution of white-collar crime. The USD center has been moni- toring the activities of the state bar since 1979, and Fellmeth has consis- tently chided lawyers for refusing to

police their own ranks. In two comprehensive reports, Fell- meth has pinpointed the weaknesses of the attorney disciplinary system and proposed some badly needed refonns. These include enhanced interim sus- pension power and better pay for State Bar prosecutors. He also proposes hiringmore investigators and attorneys to prosecute cases, expanding the legal authority to discover attorney miscon- duct, increasing the malpractice judg- ment authority, and empowering a panel of salaried administrative law judges to decide discipline cases in- stead of the 440 part-time volunteer at- torneys who currently do so. The State Bar has agreed to nearly all of these proposed reforms and is currently making policy changes to implement several of them. Yet, legislative afproval is required before two-thirds o the proposals can be implemented. The vehicle for such action is SB 1498, sponsored by Sen. Robert Presley, D-Riverside. The Legislature will soon consider this blueprint for overhauling the State Bar's shoddy disciplinary system. Prompt approval of SB 1498 will ensure that the overdue refonns are implemented.
