"It is," her friend agreed, "and it's despicable." A man dressed in a three-piece suit sat on a mall bench as the column of marchers approached. "Wow'." he said.

And nothing more. When the column crossed the street, he did too. The noisy and often jubilant dem-oastration. led by feminist Nikki Craft, was sparked by the refusal of a Municipal Court judge to rule unconstitutional the state Parks and Recreation Knight News Service SANTA CRUZ Twenty bare-breasted women and dozens of sinmnK and chanting sympathizers marched through downtown streets yesterday after a judge refused to throw out a regulation that prohibits nudity on state beaches. They carried placards proclaiming "Keep Your Laws Off My Body" and "Dont Bust My Bust" "It's disgusting," said an impeccably dressed elderly woman out Christmas shopping with an elderly woman gives Diablo An examination of safety systems at the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant uncovered "nothing that has any implications for the safety of the plant." told the Nuclear Regulatory Commission yesterday.

City and county law-enforcement agencies said the women broke no law. "Hey, they can do their thing. If they don't mind that people see them nude to the waist, it doesn't bother us," said Keith Duel, deputy chief of police for the city. "We're just going to ignore them."

Bruce Simpson, spokesman for the sheriff's department, said no county or state law prohibits the baring of the female breast except on state beaches.

The only time bare breasts in public are illegal, Simpson said, is if they are bared to excite sexual interest. This as evidently not the situation yesterday. Simpson said county law defines nudity only as the baring of genitals and, in that regard, treats men and woman equally.
