DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS: 3:00 P.M., September 17, 1976 A NON-DISCRIMINATORY AFFIRMATIVE ________ -ACTION EMPLOYER ____ Da~l Photo by PAUINE LUBENS Dylan Dylan to dorm down in lush Malibu mrishmash' MALIBU, Calif. (AP) - Perched high above the cliffs of Malibu looms a sprawl- ing architectural wonder that a building inspector calls a "terrible mishmash," but Bob Dylan soon will call it home. The dwelling - part ranch house, part castle - reportedly is costing the singer- songwriter nearly $2 million. Dozens of arti- sans and craftsmen have worked several years to give it a folksy, handcrafted ap- pearance. A HUGE ONION-SHAPED dome protrud- es from the center section, creating the impression that "someone dropped a clump of ice cream," according to one neighbor. "The dome originally was going to be an eagle's nest, you know, just a little hide- away," said architect Dave Towbin, who has been in on the project since it started sev- eral years ago. "Then it was going to be an observatory, then something else, and now it's an onion-shaped copper dome." Towbin' says the place has "taken on several new directions," - an architect's way of saying it has been rebuilt more times than he can, count. "BUT I THINK the house hangs togeth- er pretty well for the form it is," he said. "It's kind of hard to put a label on it, but I guess I'd call it stick-and-timber eclec- tic.' A Los Angeles County building inspector termed it "a terrible mishmash." In the back, Dylan has constructed a huge polymorphous pool, with plenty of room for his five kids and their friends. "It's a lake," one observer noted. THE PROJECT started out as a $50,000 remodeling of a house that once belonged to a Los Angeles Times columnist, said Towbin, "but then the thing began to grow and grow and grow, and a lot of things be- gan to change. Sarah, Dylan's wife, gotin- volved in the project, very involved, and then . "Let's just say there were a lot of major changes, mainly because it had to feel right." Whatever Dylan's Malibu creation is, he can be sure there's nothing like it any- where in the world. "It's kind of unreal," said one Malibu resident of his famous neighbor's new home, "But if he can stand it, I can." - "A WHIFF OF the Past."' An enterprising New Yorker has been selling bottles of air he claims was captured on July 4, 1776 and saved for posterity. The green, apparently hand- blown bottles, have been retail- ing for $50 each. -Crafty Ideas.

But once he got the hang of it, he found that Reverse Polish Notation meant he worked with only two numbers at a time, solving the most complex sequence calculations quickly, accurately and naturally.
