Sheldon Krantz, dean of the USD Law School, who helped form the commission, said, "Recently, there have been serious allegations stem- ming from national studies, allega- tions that border on scandalous." He said some of those allegations were made in an article in the maga zine The American Lawyer. Said Krantz: "Given the disputes surrounding the ways in which public funds are now being used, the Law Center board concluded that an im- mediate, impartial study was war- ranted."

Photos by Alan Berliner It was an a/faire to remember F rench Consul General Fran- cois Mouton called it an al- faire de coeur. Bullocks Wilshire's president Jerome Nemiro agreed:

Bullocks Wilshire's flagship store, a temple of Art Deco elegance, was a made-to-order setting for the fete, and Dorene Whitney's black Valenti- no sheath and fox boa struck just the right world-weary, Constance Ben- nett-Travis Banton note. Elsie Weston chose a classic black lace dress by Bill Blass, and Nancy Vreeland earned second looks in a dramatic design that was she con- fided, "by Lagerfeld - when he was still with Chloe." Astring quartet serenaded guests as they left their cars and came

BW and La Belle France are hav- ing a love affair - and they don't care who knows it. Elsie amfFrank Weston and Dorene and John Whitney can testify to that. The Westons made the trip from Rancho Santa Fe to Los Ange- les for a gala - and Gallic - din- ner-dance at the specialty store on Wilshire Boulevard, and the Whit- neys came up from La Jolla. The black-tie party, a benefit for public radio station KUSC, pre- viewed a salute to France that will be observed in all six Bullocks Wil- shire locations through Sept. 30. Fairbanks Ranch developer Ray Watt was there with Joyce Hunter, part of a glittering crowd that also included actress Julie Harris, Fa- ther Maurice Chase, Nancy and Tim Vreeland, art dealer Gregg Juarez with Alice Hartfield, Terry and Dennis Stanfill, Mary and Bradley Jones, Elsie and Franklin Pollack and Elin Vanderlip with Lee Katz. French fashion was represented by Bernard Perris, shoe designer Maud Frizon, jewelry wizard Michel Ermelin of Verney Joailliers, and other celebrated trendsetters. The Verney bijoux were modeled by three young goddesses wearing white strapless sheaths designed by Perris for the party. (To give you some idea: Acollar of Burma rubies and canary diamonds carried a $280,000 tag.)

For Elsie Weston, the Los Ange1es party was a warm-up for the cham- pagne reception she is putting to- gether next week at Bullocks Wil- shire in La Jolla. The date is Sept. 19, and the bene- ficiary is the scholarship program of the Univ.£!:Sity Qf.SaR-Biego Presi- dent's Club. Again the theme will be La Belle France and again the Verney jewels will be on display. In addition, the USP J1.im.efit will treat patrons to a showing of spectacular French furs. But you'll have to wait till Sept. 26 for the opening of the new Chanel Boutique at the La Jolla store.

Burl Stiff through a receiving line beneath the store's porte cochere. Cocktails, Piper-Heidsieck cham- pagne, caviar and other temptations were served on the first floor, where tricolor bouquets restated the French theme, and a jaunty combo - muted trumpet, bass, violin and amplified guitar - played "C'est Magnifique," "C'est Si Bod' and such. Then everybody moved upstairs for a kaleidoscopic show of Bernard Perris fashions, a seated dinner (Ro- coco catered) and dancing till long after midnight. Among the peripheral distrac- tions: a collection of antique French costumes once worn by the likes of Sarah Bernhardt and Theda Bara; original fashion sketches by Patou, Balmain, Ricci, Lagerfeld and more; turn-of-the-century luggage from Vuitton; menus from the Elysee Pal- ace; and exhibits of the oldest and newest from Baccarat, Lalique, Christofle, Puiforcat, Limoges and other legendary firms. , -
