you are bemg looked at through the eyes of God. I think that for some reason, God wanted to take thi woman, hold her up to the world and say to othc <; 'You can do it too. You don't have to be a Mother Teresa to do this work ' " Always the Same Messages In this week's public appcc.r- anccs, Mother Teresa was all those simple thlr g . Her addresses-to her adult volur tcers, to college students, to grade choolers, to the Mexican media, to the congregation of a new Tijuana church-never varied. Love others as God loves us. Homelessness is not just a lack of a roof but lack of canng. Hunger is not only for bread but for love. Also, the family that prays togeth- er stays together, and when g1vmg, give until it hurts. Her only piercing attack was her now constant public stand against abortion as a dire enemy of peace "because 1t destroys two hvcs. the hfc of the child and the conscience of the mother. "So let us thank our parents for wanting us, for lovmg us, for g1vmg us the JOY of hvmg." To some, it was all maybe ... well, a little too naive. To others, to her close followers, it simply endorsed Mother Teresa's total absorption with basic devo lion and the overlooked tenet.~ of human decency.

Larry Hinman, chairman of USD's philosophy department, described the time as a "a cri ·is of ethics and public leadership ... in which there f seems to be a growing discrepancy between the moral values we e!ipouse .and the way in which we, especially our leaders, in fact act." The result was a feisty debate that heaped much of the responsibility for ethics in politics on the news media. Political con ultant Jim Johnston saw nothmg wrong with dropping the Kleengenes nuggets on his media friends, desp1tr prote ts from former Rep. Clair Burgener and campaign reform expert Robert Fellmeth. Left to defend such a story was Barbara Herrera, assistant manag- ing editor of The Tribune, who talked

~litics and ethics explored By Heidi H. Holmblad T·mes•Advocote Steff Wri1:;g/{ljJ SAN DlEGO Clair Burgener shook his head when talk among experts on a political ethics panel turned to sex, drugs and question- able campaign practices. "If this is what politics has be- 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 the...._Univers1- ty of San Diego's second?c'iriiiii. 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 membets 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 fict10nal 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 camJlaigns 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 in vestigators to check out the con\. petition, he said. Johnson, like the other pan el- ists, said the political scene has be- come a financiai arms race, me that only the rich can play. "Local San Diego politic~ L more and more a rich perxon's game; a rich, attractive mi.11 m sire's game," he said, noting that six of the nine City Council nem- bers are millionaires. Barbara Herrera, assists it man- aging editor of The Tribt ne, aid reporters try to cover the financial aspects of campaigns and the juici- er, gossipy points -- like the sex scandals, if they can be substrmti- ated. To ignore them would be n form of censorship, she said. Clo- ris 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 decides what is important and reports only that information. L
