and what effect color and age of the litigants had on the outcome of a case. Some 90 questions which were not answered because of time were Pach handled perwnally by a Judge. Quesllons were chosen by the acramento Human Rights Com- mission and the League of Women Voters.

Loncke ongmally talked about ,t with his "mentor," Supenor Court Judge Roger W rren, and last Septem- ber went to the CJA's Public In- formation Committee, which wholeheartedly endorsed it. On May 4 a similar version was put on by a Sacramento coun• c,imembt•r which included Judges ,rnd allrucll'd 200 persons.

You don't import or store residue, and if Con- gress meant possession it would have said that." Levenson said pre ent procedure requires the person who loses prop• erty to file a petition w1thm 30 days or the federal government owns it. "So not only do you have a misuse of the statue t, t a clear lack of du1:: process righls " Norman Abrams, a profc or who teaches federal crim,nal law at UCLA, said Customs ha se zed cars, airplanes and hoats for many years under civil forfeiture tatutes that now contain 'very hr oad language" which can be ' mt rpreted very broadly." Abrams added, however, "What troubles us in these cases is that these individuals are not necessarily engaged in any commercial ven- tures. They may have smoked a bit of marijuana and somehow it seems disproportionate to eize the valu- able car or boat because of the trace of a manjuana cigarette or a small

Aexander said that the modern rathnale is "clearly deterrence," andadded "my sense is that this has be61 litigated m the past and so far it k constitutional." 3arbara Levenson, who chairs the le:al panel of the American Civil Lberties Union in Miami, argued tie law is flatly illegal. "The tatute they're working lOder was never meant to be used ·he way it is being used," Levenson said. "Originally (the statutes) were passed for governmental bodies to take property that was very inex- pensive and so they would not have to go through court hearings that would expend tax dollars to keep the property." According to Levenson, the stat- utes were later revised to cover property under $100 and until re- cently were used that way. In 1984 Congress added a clau e allowing the seizure of any convey- ance used to export, import, trans- port or store controlled substances,
MOTHER'S PLACE: When Mother Teresa comes in to talk at USD on Tuesday, she'll go house bunting. 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.

Irene Palmer is honored by the University of San Diego d~ . .
Tierrasanta resident Irene Sabelberg Palmer was honored at a dinner held for her Saturday, May 7th, by the University of San Diego for her 12 years of service as Dean of the Philip Y. Hahn School of Nursing. Sr. Sally Furay, vice president and provost, presented Palmer with a Dean Emeritus Certificate. Establishment of the Irene Sabelberg Palmer Sch?la~ship was announced at the dinner. Each year, begmnmg next fall, three nursing students - one from the bachelor's degree program, one from the master's program and one from the doctoral program - will be named "Palmer Scholars." The scholarships awarded will be based on academic excellence. P_al_mer was founding dean of the nursing school, arr1vmg 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. In the fall, she switches from full-time t.o 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 Bost.on 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 Administration Hospital, San Francisco; Captain, Army Nurse Corps, instructor, Medical Field Service Schools, Letterman Army and Walter Reed Hospitals. Palmer has lived in Tierrasanta for the past 8 years.

She said AIDS can bring people closer to God, their families and their friends. "It 1s just a disease, like any other disease," Mother Teresa said. AIDS patients, she said, deserve the same "tender love, compassion and care" as any other terminal patients. Mother Teresa presented each patient at the center with a kiss and a small
