"There's no way the Customs Ser- vice is going to do something inten- tionally against the Constitution that would fly in the face of the gov- ernment itself. We feel it's based on sound law. If the law is changed it's one thing, but 011til it is changed we'll continue with the program as it exists." Legal experts agree recent seizures by Customs under zero tol- erance have legal precedence, al- though some question whether the agency is stretching the law beyond its original intent. John Kaplan, a drug law expert at the Stanford Law School, said, "I don't know whether it's constitution- al or not but I think it's a dumb thing to do ... It's a very good way to alienate people who should be supporting the war against drugs, and is an example of the kind of grandstanding that is silly." Michal Belknap, professor of law and legal history at California West- em School of Law, agreed zero tol- erance seizures are civil forfeiture actions that do not require prosecu- tion of individuals. "This longstanding legal tradition goes back before the Constitution . ..

!'he program has been adopted nationwide and Customs recently extended it to mclude conveyances, resulting in the seizures of vehicles and vessels found to have even trace amounts of drugs. "As of today (Thursday) we haven't received any cases yet on the seizures, let alone forfeitures," Nunez said. "Our pos1llon 1s that we will review any cases referred to us to see if they fall within the zero- tolerance program." He added, "When we launched the zero-tolerance program at the bor- der we had outlined written proce- dures and had training programs to make sure (law enforcement) would be sending us cases that will stand up. None of that has happened here. We're gettmg hit with this cold. ''It would have been better if they had consulted with us first, but this was mandated out of Customs head- quarters in Washington." Nunez said his office has been in touch with Customs counsel in Washington in an attempt lo clarify the policy. A Customs spokesman in Wash- ington said the agency' lawyers are

MOTHER'S PLACE: When Mother Teresa comes in to talk at USD on Tuesday, she'll go house hunting. She's looking for a place to accommodate 30 broth- ers from the Missionaries of Charity, the order she founded. The men will work in Tijuana, where Mother Teresa now has only four nuns helping the poor.

The scholarships awarded will be based on academic excellence. Palmer was founding dean of the nursing school, arriving at USD in 1975. Four years later, through her own fundraising efforts, the $1.4 million Muriel Marsh/Philip Y. Hahn School of Nursing building was dedicated. Palmer established a graduate nursing program in 1977 and a doctoral program in 1984. She resigned last year as dean, but remains as a faculty member . I n the fall, she switches from full-time to part-time teaching as part of her phased retirement plan. "We have such a high caliber of students, it's a pleasure and an honor working with them," Palmer said. Before joining USD, Palmer was dean and professor at Boston University's nursing school. Earlier positions include: Assistant Dean and Associate Professor, University of Colorado School of Nursing; Associate Chief, Nursing Service for Research, Veteran's
