Students from A.P.'.-; Giannini Middle School on Ortega, Street reported a flasher last month, Morimoto said. The 25-year-old man Morimoto ar-, rested turned out to be from the -i neighborhood where he which is somewhat unusual, accord-, ing to Mazzucco. Generally, flashers, are out-of-towners, he said.

Statistics also show that lashers are often white men, 20 to 45 years who prefer exposing themselves to, women and children. About 25 cent of their victims are boys. Most of the recent incidents havet occurred between 2 p.m. and 5 pm. within a few blocks of schools.

Mazzucco said police aren't whether one man or several are re-; sponsible for the sudden increase inlfl flashing reports. He asks that parents tell their chij-, dren to walk home in groups and go straight home. He advises children to walk away from anyone who beckons them on the street. By Bill Boldenweck I 1 i t-xuinintT iiau writer The breeze was whipping at the gmdenrod-colored drapes as the honored and the paying guests edged out of the lobby of The City's newest hotel, thje Ramada Renaissance, into the typhi! evening chill for the ceremonies. I They hadnt exactly crowded the cjpacious lobby, but they Jammed the carriage entrance, where the ceremonies were held, and thus contributed the only real mishap of the affair.

A waiter laden with flute glasses of champagne was Jammed into the row of folding seats for the honored gsests, and crash went the glasses, scatter, spatter, tinkle, tinkle. As Scott Beach, The City's ubiquitous master of ceremonies, took over af called for attention, a white-coat-cit attendant swept up the wreckage a4)he contretemps was at an end. Te occasion was the unveiling, by piece, of San Francisco sculp-tcS feutli Asawa's most heroic work, a sejftfnate mural 13 feet high and 60 honoring the past and con-, temjwrary history of The City and the BsysArea. Should The City crumble into rub-bp, perhaps the glass iber-reinforced prnels will give archeologlsts of the ft! lire a clue to what San Francisco about. Represented were such disparate brt essential elements as the Ohlone li Sans, the Golden Gate Bridge, Cyril sinin, the Zoo, Palace of Fine Arts, XI Pipers' Band, City Hall, Em-rror Norton Mayor Feinstein and Fulser Junipero Serra.

Others include bike messengers, kQ flying, garage sales and hang glider; as well as the Earthquake and Fife, John McLaren, the Bay to Breaker! footrace and Joe Montana. The affair was a benefit for the Sool of the Arts Foundation, of witch Asawa is a founder.

Inspector Tom Mazzucco of the juvenile detail said indecent exposure incidents are up 40 percent over last year. Police are getting about 10 reports of flashers each week.

Since school started last month, 35 incidents involving children have been reported, many of them near schools in the Richmond and Sunset districts and in Pacific Heights, Mazzucco said. "Statistics show they (flashers) do not do physical harm, but I think they are capable of doing harm," Mazzucco said yesterday. So far, none of the children who have seen flashers recently has been hurt But children should be wary of strangers who beckon to them on the street or lurk In doorways, alleys and parks, Mazzucco said. According to police reports, some flashers use elaborate ploys or promises of sweets and playthings to get children's attention. One man in a parked car recently asked a child to "come and help me search for my lost puppy," a report said.

When the child peered in the window, the man sat back with his genitals exposed. Another report told of a flasher who approached a child and asked, "Want some candy, little girl?" Taraval Station Officer DarcyMori-moto said a flasher she arrested Tuesday was standing in a doorway of a home at the corner of the Great Highway and Ortega Street, near Ocean Beach. He was boldly exposing himself to passers-by, she said. Morimoto called for help and returned to find the man exposing himself to a woman who was walking by. Morimoto arrested him.

Police are checking to see whether the man fits the description of flashers who have appeared around town in recent weeks, she said.

Each unveiling was accompanied by a solo snare drum roll the likes of which haven't been heard in The City since the President Follies Burlesque closed, except when the circus is in town. The rolls often came on Beach's cue, although sometimes the drummer seemed to be marching to a different master of ceremonies. Though the ceremonies only took 30 minutes, the murals are for the ages.

Beach, asked after the ceremonies if Asawa is a sort of Grandma Moses of sculpture, said, "She's better than Grandma Moses." The sculptures are now open to public view in the new hotel's carriage entrance at Cyril Magnin Street, north of Fifth and Market, behind Hallidie Plaza. Hallidie is also represented in the mural.
