Bartley has announced for the US Senate. Harvard's Kennedy School of Government served as a staging area for Gov. Michael S. Dukakis' government-in-exile, and the state's public colleges have enough former state legislators on the payroll to muster a quorum. In fact, the route between the groves of academe and the halls of power in Massachusetts is sometimes as crowded as the jogging paths along the Charles River on a spring evening.

It can take a college catalogue to tell who is teaching this semester and who is guiding the ship of state.

Collins taught By Peggy Hernandez Contributing Reporter ROWLEY The telephone call police received at 11:08 Saturday night was that an ambulance was needed for a drunken person at a party, according to Police Chief Kevin Barry. But police knew immediately on arrival that this was no routine drunk case, Barry said yesterday. Officers tried to revive the victim with cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the ambulance, but he was dead on arrival at Anna Jaques Hospital in nearby Newbury-port. Barry said the victim, Jack A. Kelley, 19, of Newbury Neck road, Newbury, had swallowed a quart of 80-proof Southern Comfort within 15 minutes on top of five beers while others at the party cheered him on.

Medical Examiner James Whitten, said Kelley died of cardiac arrest and acute alcoholism. The police chief said that "some of the people at the party were telling Kelley to 'go, go or something to that effect, while he was drinking." According to Barry, Kelley was in the kitchen of the house where the party was being held when he passed out. "People laid him on the floor of the kitchen, then someone noticed that he had begun vomiting blood. Some guests took him outside and walked him around to get some fresh air. After a while, they laid him down inside an enclosed porch," Barry said.

Barry said that about a half hour later, some new guests arrived at the party and found Kelley uncon- ROWLEY, Page 22 night destroyed the roof and caused about $1 million in damage. White said yesterday investigators believe Baldwin broke into the church Tuesday about 8 p.m., rifled several collection boxes and then tried to open the church safe. Fire officials say Baldwin then poured an accelerant, or flammable liquid, through parts of the church and set it afire in order to cover up the burglary. White described Baldwin as an unemployed roofer who "drinks heavily." He said Baldwin rented an apartment in Fields Corner up until about a year ago. Since then, White said, fire officials believe Baldwin has lived in cars and on the street.

White said that although Baldwin's family also lives in Fields Corner, they have not heard from him since the fire. A search of Boston shelters also failed to turn up Baldwin, White said. "We feel that within a few days we will have the suspect," White said. Boston Police are also looking for Baldwin on an unrelated charge. White said.

At the church, wreckers yesterday continued removing debris as Rev. Paul Clougherty, pastor of St. Ambrose, took phone calls from people offering help. Among the callers yesterday were officials from several Boston-area unions offering materials and labor to rebuild the church. "I told them we appreciated the offer but it was premature," Fr.

Clougherty said. Structural engineers from the archdiocese still must examine the church to see if it can be rebuilt, Fr. Clougherty said. Since the fire. Mass for the 500 families served by St.

Fire officials identified the suspect as Paul Baldwin, a pony-tailed, unemployed roofer who has lived in cars and doorways in the Fields Corner area for the last year.

Fire officials had released a sketch of Baldwin last week. They said they believed Baldwin set the fire to cover up a burglary. At a press conference, fire officials asked Baldwin to turn1 himself in after five days of fruitless fire and police searches of Dorchester bars. Fields Corner apartments and Boston shelters for the homeless. "We feel that he may be in a physical and mental state that he might turn himself in," said city Fire Marshal John White at a press conference.

"We feel he is dependent on friends in the area We're asking him to turn himself in and we're asking that if someone knows where he is, they come forward." White said he believed Baldwin was still in the Fields Corner area. According to fire officials, a motorist passing near the 69-year-old church the night of the fire saw Baldwin running from the scene. Last Thursday, fire officials said, Baldwin ran from a Dorchester bar when members of the Boston Arson squad began! questioning other customers about the fire. The warrant for Baldwin's arrest was issued in Dorchester District Court.

Most of those who have Judge Joseph Ferrino in East Boston District Court has continued without a finding a cocaine possession charge against actress Jodie Foster and ordered her to pay $500 in court costs. David Rodman, a spokesman for the Suffolk district attorney's office, said Foster admitted to the charges when she appeared in court Friday with her mother. In addition to continuing the case without a finding, Rodman said the judge placed Foster on one year's probation. She paid the court costs. On Dec.

Newman Flanagan decided to file a criminal complaint. Rodman said yesterday the media were not notified about Friday's court proceeding because Foster has received death threats in the past.

By Joan Vennochi Globe Staff The director of security for Boston's Traffic and Parking Department has acquired $2495 in traffic tickets for the two city cars that are assigned to him. Joseph MacDonald, director of security, said yesterday that all the tickets were acquired in the course of carrying out his city job. part of which includes monitoring illegal parking of city vehicles by city employees. Under city regulations, Traffic and Parking Department vehicles are exempt from parking ticket violations if they are being used on city business. However, the exemption does not apply to violations Incurred in parking zones for handicapped or in front of fire hydrants.

And, under a policy established by former Traffic and Parking Comr. John A. Vitagliano, city employees are required to clear the tickets through the city parking clerk's office under an established "Government Vehicle Program." According to a computer print-out of the tickets' acquired by MacDonald during the past year, two were issued because one of the cars assigned to him was parked at a hydrant and in a handicapped zone. Assistant Parking Clerk Bruce Graubart said yesterday that MacDonald applied through the Government Vehicle Program for clearance on 21 of the 126 tickets issued to the two city cars that MacDonald drives. MacDonald said he has not yet applied for clearance on the other tickets because he has not had time to do the paperwork.

Vitagliano, who worked his last day as commissioner last Friday, said yesterday that "knowing Joe MacDonald's character, whatever the tickets. I have no doubt every single one of them was legitimately received (in the line of city work)." But he said that MacDonald. along with all city employees driving exempted vehicles, should have applied to clear the tickets under the Government Vehicle Program. watched and participated in the Interchange say It all depends on the abilities of the politician In question.

Morrlssey, another longtime observer of and participant In both pol'tles and education In Massachusetts, said politicians who have "unfocused skills bring a mixed blessing to academic life." Morrlssey, a former president of Boston State College and now a professor at UMass, also worries about the effect of politician-professors on other faculty members. "If you clutter up the Institution with high-priced loss leaders, the political celebrity acts ore going to cut off some brilliant young talent," Morrlssey said.
