On the contrary, the understanding of the amendment was made explicit not only by words but also by deeds. The very same Congress that ap- proved the amendment simulta• neously provided for segregaled schools in Washington, D.C. Among the ratifying states were such non-Southern states as Califor- nia, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Every one of them maintained ra- cially separate schools for years affer the amendment became opera- tive.

Chief Justice Earl Warren, in a false and feeble phrase, found the evidence "inconclusive." Instead of relying upon familiar grounds of con- temporaneous interpretation, War- ren relied upon "intangible consider- ations" and "p ·ychological knowl- edge." The nine members of the court, having concluded that segregation was unconscionable, simply declared it unconstitutional. This was a naked usurpation of the states' power to amend.

US_Q barks up wrong tree against Loyola By Kirk Kenney 2 qe;t:; Tribune Sportswri~

The Toreros missed the steadying influence of point guard Efrem Leonard and forward Mike Haupt. Leonard missed last night's game with a sprained right ankle. Egan said Leonard probably will be a spectator for tonight's game at Pepper- dine. Haupt missed the trip because his father passed away. "We could have tried to keep the game under control, or learn how to play and do some things," said USD coach Hank Egan. "I was not concerned with the score. This is all part of the learning process." Loyola Marymount jumped out to a 57-29 half. tinJe lead thanks in part to a fastbreak fueled by 14 steals. USD succumbed to the Lions' pressurf', committing 21 first-half turnovers. ''Once we get our engine going, we're gone," sai Lions forward Bo Kimble, who scored 18 poipts to join five teammates in double figures. 'J.lhe Lions ran out to an early lead despite the absence of leading scorer Hank Gathers for the first 10 minutes of the game. Gathers was benched by Lions coach Paul Westhead for missing a team meeting earlier in the week. Gathers, a 6-foot-7 sophomore center, checked in with 9:37 remaining in the first half. He had 10 points by intermission and finished with a game-

high 2t points. He was 10-for-12 from the field. "We broke them in the first half, and I think they lost confidence," Kimble said. "They gave up early." It's an exaggeration to say the Toreros gave up. But they did seem to panic in the early going. Asked at what point panic set in, Egan said, "During warmups." The Lions let the Toreros know they had no intentioo of losing control of the game in the sec- ond half by maintaining a 30-point lead, and then a 40-point advantage with 13 minutes to play. Loyo- la's biggest lead of the game came with 6:08 to play when guard Corey Gaines scored on a layup to mak it 105-60. • • • NOT~ - Last night it was Hank Gathers and Bo Kiml>le. The Toreros face another former USC forward tonight in Pepperdine's 6-7 sophomore Tom Lewis. Like Gathers and Kimble, Lewis left USC when coach Stan Morrison was fired in 1985. Lewis, who led the nation's freshmen in scoring two years ago, has been everything the Waves expected. He enters tonight's game averaging a team-leading 23.4 points. He also averages six re- bounds. He helped Pepperdine to a 67-61 overtime victory against St. Mary's last night. ,,,..- -

LOS ANGELES - When it comes to escaping from a vicious animal, there are two schools of thought: You can move away slowly ... or run like mad. USD's basketball team tried to run in last night's Western Collegiate Athletic Conference opener against Loyola Marymount. The Toreros may as well have been running in place. "We got bit," said USD senior forward Marty Munn after Loyola beat the Toreros 115-75 with a pressure defense and run-and-gun offense. "Being that we're so young, we kind of got caught in the trap. We ran with them, and the score showed that they're definitely better at it than we are." Loyola Marymount (1-0, 11-3) showed why it en- tered the game as the nation's second-highest scoring team by totaling more than 100 points for the 10th time this season. The Lions also establish- ed a school record for points in a conference game. USD (0·1, 6-6) suffered its worst Division I loss since a 108-62 defeat at UC Irvine in 1981. That incidentally, was the last time the Toreros al~ lowed more than 100 points in a game.

Both upgraded themselves tremen- dously with transfers. LMU got three - sophomore center Hank Gathers (23.1 points, 8.1 rebounds) and sopho- more guard Bo Kimble (18.7 points) from USC, and senior point guard from UCLA. Pepperdine got only one, but he is ex-USC forward Tom Lewis (23.4 points), a sophomore ''scoring machine," according to "If it becomes a me-against-you game, we're in trouble," Egan said. "But if we can keep an us-against- them game, we have a chance ... You can combat athletic ability if you do the subtle things well." Of the injured Toreros, Pelton is given the better chance to start. If Leonard (10.7 points) can't go, sopho- more Craig Cottrell is expected to replace him. Senior Marty Munn, the team's leading scorer (16.7), figures to replace Haupt, the team's leading rebounder (6.5). The other starter$ are point guard Danny Means (12.2 points) and freshman John Sayers (10.8 points, 5.8 rebounds in his last Egan.

Then yesterday, USD announced that starting junior forward Mike Haupt would skip this trip due a death in his family. "And we have to prepare for both teams in the same practices," Egan said of the problem created by back- to-back games. ''We can't make a lot of changes between games. With a young team, you've got to keep it simple, make sure to keep the play- ers in that comfort zone." Problem: You can't prepare for LMU and be prepared for Pepper- dine, too.

That figures to be good advice, for not only do the Toreros (8-5, 2-4 on the road) begin West Coast Athletic Conference play tonight (7:30) with the first of back-to-back road games, they open against the Lions of Loyola Marymount. And, oh, how these Loyola (10-3) averages 106.5 points, second in the nation to Oklahoma. It averages 118.6 at home (Gersten Pa- vilion), where it is 7-0 this season, averaging 26.2 more than opponents. The Lions have scored as many as 140 (against Orange County's South- ern California College) and no fewer than 69. They have five players aver- aging in double figures. four at 16.5 Lions run.

Rick, a 21-year-old senior at San Diego State University, is convinced it's impossible to get AIDS through sexual contact with the women he dates, even though he never uses a condom. "I do sleep around," he acknowl- edged last week while sitting at the bar of a beach-area nightclub. "But I use discretion. I can tell who is in- fected and who isn't." Although San Diego area college students have been bombarded by AIDS information in the media and through campu• health programs, many have ignored warnings that AIDS can be transmitted through heterosexual intercourse, say college health officials. It's impossible to tell if someone is infected with the AIDS virus based on appearance and conversation, the warnings caution. Signs of the disease may not show µp for as long as 10 vears. But rn the meantime, a person infected with the AIDS virus is quite capable of infect- ing others through traditional sexual relations. The AIDS virus is spread sexually
