Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau and
Suffolk Counties to have their
students participate in the
seventh annual Architectural
Competition for the design of a
house on Long Island, sponsored
by the State University
Agricultural and Technical
College at Farmingdale.
The event is co-sponsored by
the L.I. Builders Institute and the
University. The L.I. Chapter of
the American Institute of Ar­chitects
will judge the com­petition.
Deadline for the closing entries
is Friday, April 9, 4 p.m. All

Chairman, Department of
Construction Technology, Lupton
Hall, State University at Far­mingdale,

Scholarship awards will be
given the top three designers and
Honorable Mention Certificates
to the next three. First prize will
be worth $150, second $100 and
third $50. The nioney will go
directly to the college of the
winners' choice for application
toward tuition.
Prof. Romanelli points out that
"each entry is to be an in­dependent
effort demonstrating
the student's creative ability and
technical skill in planning and
designing a three-bedroom,
contemporary house for a family .
of four, husband, wife, one boy
and one girl."
The competition rules, in part,
call for the house to be located on
a rectangular site of ap­proximately
one acre on the
South Shore of Long Island. The
site slopes down to the bulk-headed
shoreline at a 7 per cent
grade. There are several large
trees in a grove located along the
west property line about 80' south
of the road. Otherwise, there are
no obstructions to the view of the
Great South Bay and Fire Island
beyond.
All utilities exist in the street
(gas, water, sewer, electricity),
and all rooms must be designed
to provide the best orientation to
the view and respect for the
prevailing southwest breezes.
Contemporary building
materials and construction
methods are to be used.
A jury of representatives of the
L.I? Chapter, American Institute
of Architects, will select the top
designs. Winners then will be
notified and the outstanding
designs will be displayed at
Lupton Hall of the State-
University at Farmingdale
starting Monday, May 3, and
continuing through the College's
Open House Program, Friday
and Saturday, May 7 and May 8
for the public to view.
The three prize winners and
three runners-up, with their
parents and high school drafting
• teachers, will be guests of the L.I.
Builders Institute at a special
awards dinner, the time and
location to be announced.

85 entries from 30
schools. Top prize, a first-place
scholarship award of $150, went

Bethpagers will have a unique
opportunity to hear some mar­velous
music-making by talented
Long Island youngsters, and in
the process, lend support to two
very worthwhile causes when the
Bethpage Public Library
presents members of the Long
.Island Youth Orchestra, in
varying string, brass and
woodwind ensembles, in a series
of Friday Evening Musicales.
The dates and ensembles are as
follows: February 5, - String
Quartet and Clarinet. March 5 -
Woodwind Quintet. April 2 -
String Quartet. May 7- Brass
Ensemble.
All programs-start at 8 p.m. in
the auditorium of the Library, at
47 Powell Avenue (off Broad­way).
About 100 high school
youngsters from Nassau and
Suffolk counties are members of
the Long Island Youth Orchestra,
. founded eight years ago by
Martin Dreiwitz, who is still the
group's conductor and head
cheerleader.
Faces change as they
graduate, but the Orchestra
remains a rarity among en­sembles
- an orehestra that,
supports itself through the sheer
dedication and hard work of
student musicians. A recent
concert at the C.W. Post College
in Brookville, played to a packed
house and received an en­thusiastic
reception.
Dreiwitz has devoted virtually
all of his spare time for the past
eight years to building and
guiding the orchestra. The
rewards are strictly musical. He
receives no salary, no fees, no
compensation of any, kind except
the immense satisfaction of
watching his young musicians
grow more skillful under his
leadership.
Part of the proceeds of the
Bethpage Library series will go
toward realizing the orchestra's
most ambitious project to date - a /
planned concert tour of Europe
next summer. England, Holland,
Denmark and Germany are on
the itinerary.
The series is sponsored by the
Friends of the Bethpage Public
Library, which will use the
remaining proceeds toward its
campaign to purchase a piano for
the library,
Leo Schottland, President of
the Friends group, points out that
"Having a good baby-grand
piano will enable our library to
offer a wider variety of programs
to the Bethpage Community and
will enrich many of the ongoing
programs, such as the Pre-School
and the Story Hour programs. I
can think of no more appropriate
way to raise funds for a piano in
our library than by presenting
this series of beautiful music
played by local youngsters who
have already'discovered the joys
of making music."
Complete program information
and tickets are available at the
library. Seating is limited, so
tickets will be sold "at the-door"
only if still available. To be sure
of admission, advance purchase
is suggested.
Prices are as follows:
Individual Programs, $1.75 -
Adults, $1.25 - Students (18 or
younger); Series of Four
Programs, $6. - Adults, $4.00 -
