attorney wrongdoing." He aimed particular criticism at the amend ment reqwnn notification of civil judgments mvolving , rather than ordinary, negli• gen . ''That doesn't happen," he said of gross negligence claims. ''That's why (bar officials) don't want the word 'gross' removed" One informed lcgislat.lve source who asked not to be identified said Presley agreed to the switch to gro negligence "to avoid a fight in committee" Presley aide Martin Pinon said the SB 1498 amendmen "pretty much ren~ (Hams's) desire . We took a lot of direction from him, and we did our best to satisfy hls concerns.'' Harns aid he made comments at one of the ions, but noted he has not seen the mended version of SB 1498. Hanis confirmed he will push to switch the authonty to ppoint the discipline monitor from the Attorney General's Office to the Leg- work

1Slature. Noting that the attorney general has no responsibility re'arding lawyer discipline, Harris said, "I don t know why the attorney general should be in there at all." 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 powers suggested by Presley, the source added, include the auditor general and the state Supreme Court. Harris said Presley has not communicated

those suggestions to him, but he left open the possibility of compromise. "It 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 lo 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 lo 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 formal 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'

"I'm just sorry that wasn't a 2½- pound fish it swallowed," said De- Fresco, who was at her job yesterday as concessionaire at the Miramar store. DeFresco caught the bass March 14 on a black plastic worm. Subse- quently, when the fish was being pr~ pared for mounting, a flat 2-pound, B- ounce diving-belt weight was found in its stomach.

Unbeaten UCLA, defending Pac-10 champion, is favored in the men's varsity eights, with 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."

"We are not simply individuals, only concerned for ourselves .... As God's people, however, we belong to one community, and we are bound to one another in the Lord. "The invisible unity of the believing community - Christ's body, the church - becomes visibly present each time we gather to celebrate the Eucharist,'' the cardinal wrote.
