From Westchester Community College to Columbia University, from Amherst, Mass. to Los Angeles, Cal., students agreed that an Izod (EYE-zod) alligator shirt, tucked Into straight-leg Levi jeans, tucked Into Frye boots, takes you from classes to f rat band parties to campus movies, and every where else but the one formal dance held each year. \General Hospital\ and \All My Children\ are the shows to watch, to be up on the latest college fa. Your parting gift for a college-bound freshman might well be a beer stein for a boy or a stuffed animal for a girl, to be used as a dorm decoration. These were the findings from campus visits and interviews with students all over America- from two-year community colleges to ivy league univer sities, and from Manhattan to Los 1 Angeles-asking about the latest styles and life-styles, for this Back to School supplement special. A trip to Westchester Com munity College in Valhalla revealed about 60 pairs of Levis per 100 students, at the Student Center and classroom building. The visit was made in August (by a reporter who wore jeans, on the theory that any other garb would be too conspicuous) but a Levi, Lee and Wrangler lead the campus fashion parade in the east—but Calvin Klein andjordache have Got The Look out west. staff member, identified by batik skirt, stated that jeans stay in style all year. Other favored labels were Lee, Wrangler and Sasson, with nary a Calvin Klein in sight: this brand later showed up, marked down, at Gimbel's.

Rev. Henry Schriever had requested a variance permitting an afternoon shift between 12:30 and 3 and permission to operate in July. No request was made for an extension to evening or the addition of a lunch hour, which would alow a day care center. Some residents objected, say ing there was enough traffic without the nursery expansion. Mrs. Teaf ord of Highland Avenue complained because the local nurseries get a variance \every couple of years for something- we feel it's unfair.\ Mrs. Teaf ord lives across from the Highland Nursery School, not currently operating, but which she said could begin at any time. \They're not out of business,\ she said. Zoning Board Chairman Ga briel Rosenfeld replied, \This is the kind of case where no matter what we do, we feel badly.\ He asked Mrs. Teaford if the Church's proposal might be changed in a way that would make it \less onerous.\ Mrs. Teaford said no. The Church's attorney noted that the proposal was based on need, and that the church oper ated the nursery on a non-profit basis. The Board adjourned the hear ing for a few minutes to give the Deputy Town Attorney, Peter Davidson, a chance to see if the permit for the Highland Nursery was still valid. When Mr. David son returned and said the permit had lapsed, the Zoning Board approved the Church's proposal to operate in the afternoon, but as a compromise to the neigh bors rejected the proposal for operating in July.

DOT officials had insisted that the sections satisfied the State requirements for passing but, in June, Town Supervisor Charles Banks wrote pleading for double yellow no-passing lines, \to pre vent a tragedy.\ The most dangerous sections are for travellers north: at one spot, shortly before the entrance to the Chappaqua School District Office, drivers can see only the tops of approaching cars; a motorcycle is almost invisible. A few yards north, the view of approaching traffic is blocked by trees that overhang the west side of the road. \I've seen four or five near- misses there, \Millwood Task Force Chairman Richard Hor- ton said on July 28.

Although the Board members have been annoyed at the lack of merchant response to the proposal, the merchants who have responded have vehemently opposed the ordinance. At the July 28 Board meeting, Supervisor Charles Banks told Ron Sivitz, President of the New Castle Chamber of Town Board deletes law requiring architect on Architectural Board by Eric Thoroman The Town Board voted at its July 28 meeting to eliminate the requirement for an architect to be on the New Castle Architectu ral Board of Review.

Supervisor Charles Banks noted that Patrolman Smith had served on the force for 26 years, and that the Board would accept the resignation \with regret and appreciation for his service.\ have an Architectural Board of Review without architects than none at all.\ The Town has had trouble find ing architects who meet the local ethics requirement. In January, two architects on the Review Board, John Eide and Donald Whelan, were asked to resign because they practice locally and the Town Board did not want them representing clients before Town boards. The ABR members protested that Mr. Eide and Mr. Whelan always disqualified themselves when conflicts of interest could arise but the Town said the ethics code left them no choice. Ethics Committee Chair man Janette Hunter added that even if the local code were changed or ignored, State re quirements would forbid the locally practicing architects on the ABR. Mr. Banks said at the July 28 public hearing that the/Town please turn to page 4 Commerce, that he would give him until the September 8 Board meeting to come up with an alternative proposal to combat the Town's problem of overflow ing dumpsters and illicit dump ing. Four merchants had attended the first two public hearings, after copies of the proposal were hand-delivered to all merchants. At the July 14 meeting, Council man Erik Nicolaysen revealed that he would vote against the proposal, and Councilwoman Patrice Mahon said she might not vote for it, without a require ment that the dumpsters be enclosed. With Board member Tom McCann on vacation, the Board lacked a quorum to pass the ordinance. The law would require mer chants to keep their dumpsters closed during the day and locked at night.
