One highly knowledgeable source who asked not to be identified said, "Elihu believes the monitor should be working for the Legislature He proposed that in the work session." According to the source, Presley disagrees with Harris' proposal, partly because the mon• itor already is required to report to the judicia- ry committees in the Assembly and Senate. Others skeptical of the idea note the change could politicize the monitor's position. Harris and Presley are negotiating to resolve their differences on the issue, said one in- formed source. Two possible alternative ap- pointing powen suggested by Presley, the source added, include the r,uditor general and the state Supreme Court. Harris said Presley haE not communicated

those suggestions to him, but he left open the possibility of compromise "lt doesn't have to be the Legislature," he said. Steven Birdlebough, the lobbyist for the state Judicial Council, said he was unaware of any proposals to grant the high court the appoint- ing authority. He declined to comment on whether the council would support such a pro- posal, but noted the issue was discussed at the May 6 meeting of the council's Appellate Courts Committee. The Judicial Council declined to accept the appointing power when it was offered to them in 1986. the year the monitor's position was established under legislation authored by Presley. Said Fellmeth, "I don't care who appoints (the monitor). I'm going to do the same job." Still, he expressed some concern about giv- ing the appointing power to lawmakers. "I don't want to become a political football. It

(would give) them the power to remove me at will." And Birdlebough said, "There is some con- cern that it might not be appropriate for the Legislature to do this." Special Assistant Attorney General Richard Jacobs said he has brought the issue to the attention of Attorney General John Van de Kamp, who appointed Fellmeth. Van de Kamp has taken no fonnal position, Jacobs noted. Several informed sources said Harris want- ed Van de Kamp to appoint former Santa Ana Democratic Assemblyman Richard Robinson to the monitor's position. Some speculated his move to strip the attorney general of the ap- pointing authority may be in retaliation for Van de Kamp's choosing Fellmeth, instead of Robinson. But Harris said, "My preference was not an issue" when Van de Kamp was ~g his decision because "I wasn't asked' ,.

.• The largest collegiate sport .with the smallest budget will be showcased en masse this week- end at the Pacific Coast Rowing Championships at Lake Nato- !1}a, 15 miles east of Sacramento. The seventh annual regatta, which combines the championships of the Pacific-IO Conference and Western Intercollegiate Rowing As- sociaton, will include more than 60 men's and women's teams. More than 1,400 rowers representing 30 sehools will participate. None of the teams receives sub- stantial school funding, nor is the sport NCAA sanctioned or financial- ly supported. "At least half of the teams are on shoestring budgets," said Jay Ja- cobus, the regatta's racing director. "And most of the rest are struggling to survive:·

teams will be invited to the nation- als at their own expense. To defray costs, door-to-door solicitations, bake sales and car washes are not uncommon practices among crew members. Unbeaten UCLA, defending Pac-10 <:hampion, is favored in the men's varsity eights, wlth Cal and Stanford expected to be in close pursuit. "At this point, I would predict that UCLA will win with open wa- ter," said Jacobus, referring to at least a boat-length victory for the Bruins. "But in this kind of event, you never know." The Cardinal and Golden Bears have beaten each other once during individual meets this season and al- so have exchanged finishing posi- tions during invitational regattas.
