~lilies and ethic explore By Heidi H. Holmblad Times Advocate Staff Wri~({,f':3 SAN DIEGO Clair Burgener shook hi& head when talk among experts on a political ethics panel turned to sex, drugs and question able campaign practice!>, "If this is what politics has he come, I'm happy I'm done with it," said the former assemblyman and congressman. Rumors and ethical questions have become the norm in political campaigns, according to a panel of reporters, politicians, political con- sultants and professors who par- ticipated Monday in tlie....Cnivers1- ty of San Diego's secondfriri'iin. The forum, held before a capaci ty crowd at the Lyceum Theater, attempted to "define moral leader- ship in the process of campaigning for and holding public office," ac- cording to the program notes. It also left many in the audience with the feeling that campaign mo rality is in the eyes of the beholder. Following a scenario set up by members of the USD philosophy and political science departments, the panel discussed the problems of the fictional San Diego Mayor Howard Kleengenes, a composite of regional politicians both in and out of office. His challenger was the fictional Bill Stucco, who didn't have money to defeat the popular incumbent, but had access to other, question- able means. The realities of covering, run- ning and surviving campaigns came to light as the six panelists discussed campaign dilemmas from their perspectives. Political consultant Jim John- son said he would pass on to the media unflattering stories about his candidate's opponents. But he also would do some investigating on his own. That practice has evolved to the point in which can didates regularly hire private m. vestigators to check out the cow. petition, he said. Johnson, like the other pane I ists, said the political scene has be- come a financia,! arms race, rme that only the rich can play. "Local San Diego politiq is more and more a rich per on's game; a rich, attractive mi lion aire's game," he said, noting that six of the nine City Council nem hers are millionaires. Barbara Herrera, assista 1t man- aging editor of The Tribt ne, aid reporters try to cover the financial aspects of campaigns and the juici- er, gossipy points - like !he sex scandals, if they can be substanti- ated. To ignore them would he a form of censorship, she said. Glo- ria Penner, a reporter and produc- er for PBS television, agreed. That raised the ire of law profes- sor Robert Fellmuth, who argued that it is the press that decidei. what is important and reports •nlv that information. L
