from Walters, and its leaders have split often enough with fellow teacher Goldberg that it did not endorse her when she sotight her second term in 1987. Walters has been the union's most outspoken critic. She was the only one to vote against the contract that ended a 1989 teachers' strike with a hefty pay raise and an accord that paved the way for a transfer of power from district headquarters to the schools. Her contentious spirit over what she calls "issues of equity" for the district's black students and employees has won her many loyal admirers in the 11 years that she has been on the board. As her single-mindedness leaves her more and more isolated from her colleagues, some black community leaders worry that her unwillingness to build bridges with more of the other board members undercuts her effectiveness.

The length of her tenure on the board is matched only by Roberta Weintraub's and, during the long fight over busing, the two women engaged in some of the most strident exchanges of that time. Wein-traub, not realizing the mike was open, once referred to Walters as a "bitch" on a radio interview program. The relations between the two are far more civil now, although it is clear that scars from the blows exchanged a decade ago remain. Wcintraub, 55, has tempered the excitable, rather naive nature she exhibited when she was elected in 1979 by anti-busing forces. She once told a reporter she had spent most of her life in affluent, middle-class Jewish circles before then.

"When I got on the board, then came the full spectrum. I discovered what the city was really like," Wcintraub said in a 1985 interview in which she acknowledged that she had made mistakes early on. Since mandatory busing ended in spring, 1981, Wcintraub has concentrated on pushing for equitable pay for women and for better opportunities for their advancement. She joined Goldberg in winning controversial health clinics for three of the district's most needy high schools. A health and fitness buff, she has campaigned for more nutritious meals and for a while succeeded in banning "junk food" from campus vending machines.

She often gets up at 'I a.m. to fit daily workouts into her While she was school board president a couple of years ago, she insisted on adding bottles of a trendy mineral water with labels removed so as not to provide free advertising for the company to the peanuts, and other goodies board members munch during meetings. Some of her colleagues find her alternately irritating and endearing. "One day Roberta drives you crazy with something she docs at the meeting," said one, "but the next day she's on the phone to you, worried because she noticed you weren't feeling well, and you realize she really cares. Yoti just can't stay mad at her." aDcaefgn Nov.

NATIONAL NEWS The U.S. Senior Open, a national championship for players over age 50, was held recently on a ship cruising the Caribbean. Mark Lanin of Massachusetts and Gerald Fielding of Saskatchewan tied for first place, scoring Dr. Joseph Wagner of Los Angeles tied for third place at Vi, and also won the prize and the brilliancy prize. With a fine turnout of 80 players, the U.S.

Senior Open may be the largest tournament ever held at sea. The U.S. Chess Federation (USCF), the national organization that oversees tournaments and computes ratings of all tournament players, has announced an adjustment in the ratings of the country's best players. The ratings of all Senior Masters (those rated over 2400) will be reduced by 'A of the points over 2400. The USCF hopes to combat rating inflation, which had elevated 16-year-old Gata Kamskys rating to an unprecedented 2850.

After the adjustments, Kamsky still holds a stratospheric 2746 rating. Ten other Americans top 2600, led by Yasser Seirawan of Seattle, 2665; Boris Gulko of Massachusetts, 2638; Larry Christiansen of New York, 2637; Michael Rohde of New Jersey, 2628; and Joel Benjamin of New York, 2617.

A diplomat who talks about "process," she refrains from personal criticism of other board members and tries to get along with all her colleagues. Goldberg, 4G, an articulate, longtime liberal activist, is philosophically aligned with Quezada and Walters, but shooft.cn positions herself to be more open to compromise, especially on the kind of trade-off issues she calls "twee-ncs." She sided with the majority (and against Walters and Qucza-da) in a vote to relax ttK district's tough academic requirements for participation in sports and other after-school activities because she felt the activities' incentives for youngsters to stay in school outweighed the need for maintaining strict achievement Furutani, '13, shot into the spotlight in 1987 when he reversed his vote on a plan to relieve overcrowding by putting all the district's schools into year-round operation. lis reversal forced the board to delay its plan. Fellow hoard members criticized his "flip-flop," some contending that he had not understood what he had voted on. Kurutani said his constituents did not know about the vote and had not been given the opportunity to "register their feelings." This year, he voted for the proposal-after holding six neighborhood meetings.

Since the 1987 flap, he has kept a relatively low profile, viewing himself as a "mediator" and putting few controversial measures on the table. He is sometimes a swing vote, and sides more often with the suburban members. Julie Korcnstcin, '17, elected with strong union support, has found common ground most often with another union ally and the board's newest member, Mark Slavkin, elected in 1989 to represent the Westsidc. They sit next to each other at board meetings, and she often seems to consult him before she speaks out or moves to amend others' motions. A former special education teacher, Korcnstcin has carried the ball on successful drives to toughen the district's punishment of students who bring weapons to school- and to soften its academic standards for students who participate in extracurricular activities.

An avowed fiscal conservative, she has set herself up as a watchdog of district spending, and often questions even small amounts for building projects or field trips. She has been dismissed by some as a lightweight, in part because her questions are often simplistic and appear to reflect a lack of understanding of district procedures. She is lauded by others for not being afraid to question "sacred cows" or challenge conventional notions, such as her suggestion earlier this year that the district's busing-for-integration program be disbanded because its students were not showing achievement gains. Many board watchers expect Slavkin, at 29 its youngest member, to go the furthest in carving out a political career. A former aide to county Supervisor Hd Edelman, his political sophistication shows in his demeanor and the broad approach he has taken in his short time on the board.

ilc chooses not to respond to Walters' frequent public attacks. He works closely and visibly with parents and schools in his district and offers far-reaching if short on specifics ideas to address such district problems as overcrowding. His critics are suspicious of his tics to United Teachers-Los Angeles, and he did nothing to assuage them when he carried a motion, approved by the board, for requiring non-member teachers to pay the union for its contract bargaining and other services. I.n fact, most of the current board members won their first terms in large part because of union support. However, a pattern has emerged that board members tend to loosen their ties to IJTLA as other groups and pressures exert themselves.
