Mayor Maureen O'Connor, Tijuana Mayor Federico Valdez, San Diego Padres owner Joan Kroc and her daughter Linda Smith, the founder of Mothers Embracing Nuclear Disarmament, Nunes said. Nunes said the 90-minute program - set to begin at 2 p .m. - includes conferring an honorary degree on Mother Teresa by Sister Sally Furey, RSCJ, vice president and provost of USD. Head of the Missionaries of Charity, Mother Teresa is scheduled to make a June 1 visit to four members of the congregation now living in Tijuana. The Sisters will soon open a shelter for sick, homeless men in Colonia Murua. Mother Teresa is slated to tour the facility and meet with Tijuana priests and seminarians during her May 31-June 2 visit to the Mexican border city. Dr. Figueredo said some items are still needed for the shelter, including white single sheets, twin-size blankets, bath towels and bed tables. Monetary donations will also be accepted. Dr. Figueredo said persons wishing to contribute supplies can contact her at 454-5115, or write 417 Coast Blvd., La J olla, CA, 92037.

a Jolla Rotary Club decided a few years ago to give an annual testimonial dinner to

Matthiesen, president of Las Patro- nas. Everybody looked elegant in their cocktail attire but were upstaged by a dog wearing a back- pack. Republic, an 18-month-old yel- low Labrador retriever in training, represented Canine Companions for Independence, one of the beneficiar- 1~ of the evening. (The dogs help disabled people remain independent. It costs $5,000 to $7,000 to breed, raise and train each dog, which costs the disabled owner only $125.) Chair- man Jim Tapp said the dinner raised about $30,000.
