The stars In this story are the ones you see in the sky at night. The story, titled Stardeath, will be told through multi-media effects at the Al-drin Planetarium in the Science Museum of Palm Beach County. "It's about cosmic evolution and how stars manufacture elements in their cores, eventually throwing those elements out into space, from which new stars are formed," Mark Sonntag, planetarium curator, said. "The elements are thrown out by explosion, which is the death of the star." The show, on tap now through October, will be presented at 3 p.m. seven days a week and at 7 p.m.

on Fridays. Admission charge is $2 for the museum and $1 for the planetarium. The museum is in Dreher Park, at 4801 Dreher Trail North. Moving from stars to Stock's Art Stock's Playpen South in Fort Lauderdale, to be exact an entirely different kind of show will be presented this weekend. It's the wrap up of a Stayin' Alive Flashdance Tournament, which of course is based on the movie Flash-dance.

The tournament has been going on since mid-July, and will conclude with the semifinals Friday night and the finals Saturday night. The more than 400 contestants who entered the tournament have been narrowed to four men and four women for tonight's event. From them, two men and two women will be chosen for the finals. All contestants dance individually, and a male winner and female winner will be chosen. A total of $5,000 in prizes are being awarded in the tournament.

Perhaps most pleased by the appearance of 357 freshman women, however, are the Columbia men. "Sure, it's a good thing," said Ralph Stone, an 18-year-old from Englewood Cliffs, N.J., whose twin sister, Diane, is also a freshman. "It will increase the caliber of the students," Stone said.

By Lisa Belkin New York Timet NEW YORK The last all-male school in the Ivy League became coeducational this week when Columbia College enrolled women for the first time in its 229-year history.

It was a day of celebration at Columbia, with few alumni or students criticizing the change, and with college administrators saying the decision to admit women had resulted in the most talented freshman class -ever. But across Broadway at Barnard College, the mood was more reserved. Barnard and Columbia students have long been able to take courses at both schools. Barnard refused to merge with its brother school last year and officials conceded they might lose many promising applicants. It was hot and humid in upper Manhattan as the 357 women and 443 men who make up the class of '87 checked in outside their dorms, two of which were renovated this summer to accommodate the women.

"This," said Nancy Allen of Tenafly, N.J., "is a breakthrough." For most of the women, however, it was as much a day for making friends as for making history. "My dad went to Columbia, my brother went to Columbia, and it was only fitting that I should go to Columbia," said 17-year-old Laurie Gershon of Westport, Conn. She and her roommate, Jocelyn Rause, 18, of Pittsburgh, were comparing record collections. "My Mom went to Barnard, but she wanted me to come here, too," said Miss Gershon, who added that she had also been accepted at Barnard but had chosen Columbia because, "I think a Columbia degree will have more prestige in the long run." Technically, life for a Barnard student need not be all that different from that of a Columbia student, administrators said. Barnard students can take any Columbia class, including the core-curriculum courses that a Columbia education is based on, although some courses will not count toward their degrees.

Columbia students can enroll in almost any Barnard course, with the exception of freshman English seminars, which do not admit men. Columbia and Barnard both reserve space in their dorms for nonfreshmen from the other school and many sports teams and clubs have students from the two colleges. The remaining differences between the east and west sides of Broadway are of attitude and they are likely to become more pronounced in the next few years, students and officials at both schools said. "A women's college is not just a building or a campus, it's an attitude, a philosophy of education," said R. Christine Royer, director of admissions at Barnard.

"Here everyone just assumes that a woman can do everything and be everything she wants to do and be. I think the women who recognize this will make the wise choice." The problem Barnard faces over the next few years, adminstrators said, is to find those women. According to Miss Royer, applications to the school dropped a little more than 10 percent for the entering class, a fact she attributed to the economy. Of the 126 women who were accepted at both Barnard and Columbia, eight were enrolling at Barnard, Miss Royer said. Dean Robert Pollack of Columbia College said that 78 of the women would attend Columbia and that the rest would go elsewhere.

James McMenamin, Columbia's admissions director, said that nine of the 26 students transferring, to the school this year were from Barnard. challenging, Sgiving 0 A total of $4,500 in cash prizes to a be awarded every week!
