(AP) Five-year-olds are perfectly capable of learning to play chess and, in fact, that is the best age to start them out, says teen-age chess expert Eric Schiller, who serves as a volun tee teer teacher to kindergarten youngsters. 'The earlier they learn to play chess the more beneficial the ability "will be." he says, 'Chess playing helps develop more logical reasoning process; es and helps them to think more clearly and evaluate decisions better." The 17-year-old senior at Schreiber High School here teaches the fundamentals of the game to kindergarteners at the Flower Hill Elementary School. He is a volunteer to HELP (Help Educate Little People), a program that places high school students in an assistant teacher capacity in elementary schools. "I asked for Che younger children because I feel they're easier to work with and there's more you can teach someone young," says Schiller. "I've al-- ways had the idea of introducing chessjo kids and felt the best place twas on thg level.

The-possibility of this decora- ting bonus no doubt does moti- vate some to enroll in his class. -which is a part of the Mannas- sett Adult Education Program. "But I tell tnem all that only nine homes of students will have a chance to be decorated, and we stiH have a waiung for the course," Boorstein says, happily. A The idea of the student's dec- orating tour to each "other's -homes is in the interest of prac-tical experience.

Nine lucky students with different decora- 1 ting needs get 'to have their homes discussed, disarranged and rearranged during the 10- hour course. Some become skeptical that their decorating acumen isa being challenged, 1 but most are willing to accept i the diagnosis, of students and professor. Decorating problems are pretty general so the entire 1 class profits in some way from each 'home. There are living rooms with top little wall -space, new homes that do not accommodate furniture bought for a previous larger home. small bedrooms that must be 1 made functional, and color; coordination problems.

Students have carte blanche when they are at a home. Each' takes her turn moving about anything in the room, and at' one home a piano may have been moved at least four times. There is a lesson in just about every move made, good or bad, Boorstein comments. A. may move a couch to the middle of a room where it is all wrong because of its size! another may arrange all uphol- stered pieces on one side of a room and aU wooden pieces on the other, another unbalanced idea.

When all the students have done their decorating thing in a room, Boorstein shows why something will not work and how a plan might be improved. trying to put rooms together students often neglect to consider the physical characteristics, and may suggest standard solutions, such as putting a couch with two chairs on a long wall. There are more functional and decorative solu-' tions to such a problem, al-. though there aren't any rules that can't be broken." he says. Boorstein chooses the students homes on the basis of the variety of decorating problems available.

Houses with little furniture cannot be used or illustrations. And he likes vdiiciy ui luimiuie auuijucs, junk, commercial pieces. Women are usually confused by colors and how to use them or how to use color to reflect their personalities, the decora-tor observes. Some subdued! types may need a conservative decorating team, but others may need the lift that can be acquired with red or' yellow. 1 Primary colors are better than pale greens for children's he advises.

Students, meet some obstacles. In one house where the furniture was pushed around quite a bit, a teen-age son ar- i rived on the scene, yelping that the rearranged living room now "looked like a submarine." And another home, a father's beat-up chair could not be re- moved no matter what And often television sets must stay where they are. But generally all the enthusiastic would-be designers enjoy the decorating advice that arises from the' class project. Boorstein was awarded Bachelor of Fine Arts at Cai negie-Mellon and operates decorating establishment in Long Island.

Schiller, who gets a half unit credit per term for working five, days a week with his young students, starts out by introducing the pieces one at a time -and letting the kids thoroughly familiar with how each moves: Oneo 6-year-old. has already played in air under-13-year-old tournament, "I give them general principles that get them going," he explains. "They use basically the same opening all the time, but they are beginning to get some attacking schemes down and occasionally get into some defensive The youth lists intelligence and. a "very competitive instinct" as major prerequisites for the game.

Though an aptitude for math often is not apparent at that age. he adds' that the child who plays good chess will be good in math. Schiller recalls that from the time he was 4" or 5 he played chess with his father or guests in a casual way. In the middle of junior high he joined a group of 9th-graders who played it a little more seriously. "We entered a tournament and had a crushing defeat." he admits, "and then I.

Now chess has become a way of life for Schiller, who carries a folding chess board, zipper-'cased playing pieces and, basic chess books with him wherever he goes. He was an assistant There is Exquisite Color the Bath of The I' 829 South Canal ill A tournament director for the U.S. Chess Championship, was captain of the Eastern High School cohampionship team and has won many trophies. He owns seven chess sets, including one huge "artistic" one.

He alsb plays" bridge, but thinks it involves too much luck. "In chess there's 'a. very small percentage of luck," he says. "The only reason people lose in chess is because they make a mistake themselves." Schiller plans to attend the University of Chicago next year and major in Russian, a lan-. guage he became interested in from reading books about chess, but which he now enjoys for its own sake.

In addition to speaking Russian, he speaks. Serbo-Croatian and can read German, Portuguese, Spanish, French, Czech and Swedish, all of which he familiarized himself with through reading chess magazines. He may eventually go into the field of diplomacy, teaching or some type of interpreting work. "But my real idea for life is to get a job to sustain myself while playing chess," he says.

Although many women try to get ahead by concentrating on the so-called "female" professions, one reached the top by seeking "the kinds of jobs that women are not expected to have." She's, Ersa Poston, president, of New York State's civil service commission and holder of the highest civil service job in that state. Commissioner Poston notes that most managerial jobs, both in government and in the private sector, are invariably controlled by men.

"A qualified woman can't get near them," she says, "unless the man doing the Hiring is liberated himself." In most cases, when a man rather than a woman is selected for a high-level job, she adds, "you'd have a devil of a time trying to prove it was discriminatory; Ersa Poston knew from the start that she didn't want to be put in any of those "patronizing feminine kinds of posiuons" in civil service, she says. "I wanted to be treated as a professional. But I realized, as I worked my way up the managerial ladder, that I had to keep proving' 1 could handle the re quirements of, the joj new boss would.

Mrs. Poston's male colleagues have since learned otherwise.

"I don't capitalize on being a woman. I don't flaunt my femininity," she "I make a point of dealing with both men and women in an honest day-to-day. face -to -face relationship. Their time is important. My time is important.

Being open and direct with one another is the only way to get our jobs done." The commissioner notes that although she herself has shied away from traditionally female Occupations, numerous job opportunities for women do exist in these fields. "We can't buy enough, grow enough, or build enough social workers." she says. "We. must often go outside the country-and waiw our usual citizenship requirementsin order to get them."
