NIGHT EYES: A new move to put reserve police officers and residents on the prowl for “taggers” in three inner-city LAPD divisions (B1) won praise from graffiti activists in the Valley. . . . “A fabulous idea,” said an organizer of RAGE, a Ventura Boulevard anti-graffiti group, saying many in her group are eager to join such teams.

PROVOST MOM: Louanne Kennedy dropped out of college her first year, married a widower with five children and had two of her own. Returning to college at 27, she has been in school ever since--as a rising administrator. . . . Now vice president of Kean College in New Jersey, she has been named provost and vice president for academic affairs at Cal State Northridge (B1).

JOINING THE CAUSE: Among hunger strikers determined to compel UCLA to grant full department status to Chicano studies is a San Fernando High student. . . . As she clutched an eagle feather, Norma Montanez, 16, (above) received the new Aztec name Ixtlapapayotl, or Heart of a White Butterfly, for her youth and purity (B1).

ZIPITY SPLIT: You’ve heard about the Valley communities that split off from their neighbors by renaming themselves? Here’s a new separatist wrinkle: ZIP code divorce. The Arleta Chamber of Commerce has thousands of signatures on petitions to remove Arleta from the ZIP code shared with Pacoima (B2). Nothing wrong with Pacoima, an organizer said, but Arleta wants its own identity. . . . Said a signer: It would “be great if it would lower my (car) insurance.”

SCHOOL BASEBALL: El Camino Real High pitcher Randy Wolf had a string of two no-hitters snapped Tuesday, but still defeated Monroe of Sepulveda 6-0, sending the Conquistadores to the City Section 4-A Division championship against Chatsworth, which tromped Taft of Woodland Hills 17-1 (C8). . . . That means a Valley team will win the City title for the 20th time in 21 years.
