The "issues" are planned growth, affordable housing and a limit on campaign spending. But ix weeks before the voting, Stucco' camp dis- co\ ers that Mayor Kleengenes may not be so clean after all. An old girlfriend - tongue loos- ened by alcohol at a cocktail party - says Kleengenes enjoys a little mari- ju na. Add to that, she says, th mar- ried mayor's interest in her and his "insatiable appetite" for other women. Queries: Should Stucco's campaign run with these nefarious tidbits? nd if the news media get wind of them, are they legitimate morsels for pub- lic consumption?

Larry Hinman, chairman of USD's philosophy department, described the time as a "a en 1s of ethics and public leadership .. in which there f seem to be a growing di crepancy between the moral values we espouse .and the way in which we, espec1ally our leaders, in fact act." The result was a feisty debate that heaped much of the responsibility for eth1c:-s in politics on the news media. Political consultant Jim Johnston saw nothing wrong with dropping the Kleengenes nuggets on his media friends, despite protests from former Rep. Clair Burgener and campaign reform expert Robert Fellmeth. Left to defend such a story was Barbara Herrera, as istant manag- ing editor of The Tribune, who talked

'Politics and ethics explored By Heidi H. Holmblad n~ T,roos-Advocate Slafl Wr,~~._, SAN DIEGO Clair Burgener shook his 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 be- come, I'm happy I'm done with it, said the former assemblyman and congressman. Rumors and ethical question have become the norm in political campaigns, according to a panel of reporters, politicians, political con sultants and professors who par- ticipated Monday in t~rs1- ty of San Diego's second forum The forum, held before a capac1 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 departmenb, 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 cam1:iaigns 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 h 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 coll' petition, he said. Johnson, like the other panel- ists, said the political scene has be- come a financial arms race, 'me that only the rich can play. "Local San Diego poht i s i more and more a rich per. on'1, 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 nc, aid reporters try to cover the financial aspects of campaigns and the juici er, gossipy points - like the sex scandals, if they can be substanti• ated. To ignore them would be n form of censorship, she said. Glo- ria Penner, a reporter and produc- er for PBS television, agreed. That raised the ire oflaw profes sor Robert Fellmuth, who argued that it is the press that decide what is important and reports univ that information.
