■ W orld N e w s B r ie fs YUGOSLAVIA Scientists find DNA conducts electricity

BASEL, Switzerland Strands of DNA might someday be used as wires in computer chips and transistors, a study suggests. Hans-Werner Fink and Christian Schoenenberger of the University of Basel in Switzerland found that DNA conducts electricity and is a good semiconductor. A semiconductor carries electricity better than an insulator but not as well as a conductor like copper. If DNA strands could be made with a switch to turn the current flowing through them on and off, they could be used to build extremely tiny electrical devices, the researchers said, l ink said he knows of no metallic wires that can be made as small or as regular as DNA strands.

■ Letter to the Editor ' ■ S o , W h a t ' s M y P o i n t ? Architecture Students Support Professor Blanchard This past weekend, the University of Notre Dame celebrated the 100th anniversary of the architecture program. Over the years, the School of Architecture has had several different chairs that each instituted different ideas beneficial to the edu­ cation of the students. Mr. Frank Montana created the Rome Studies program in 1969, and Mr. Thomas Gordon Smith became chair in 1989 and radically changed the school’s cur­ riculum to that of classical and traditional architecture. Most recently, Mr. Carroll William Westfall was named chair of the School of Architecture. He began his job this past summer and upon reviewing the structure of the program, he proposed a series of changes that he felt would benefit the school, most specifically changes in the Rome Studies Program curriculum. The intent of this letter is to express our opinions regarding the ramifications of the decision not to renew the contract of Professor Jeffrey Blanchard, a professor in the Rome Studies Program. Upon hearing this news, our reaction was utter disbe­ lief. We asked ourselves what would be reason enough to com­ pletely remove what we consider to be the heart of the Rome Program. Ilis knowledge of Renaissance and Baroque urban­ ism, architecture and art, as well as his wisdom regarding Italian culture, are what distinguish our program from others of a similar nature. According to the information we received, the reasons leading to the release of our esteemed professor are as follows: Due to his involvement with the Cornell University Program, he has been derelict in his responsibilities to Notre Dame; There is an excessive teacher to student ratio in the Rome Program; The University can no longer afford to keep him ,and: his teaching methods are not consistent with the new academic and curricular goals of the program. We propose that this is not the case. Instead, Professor A Loss of Innocence ...

Of Easter candy , eggs and patent leather How a Q> 0 a G

By ELLEN ANDERSON Scene W riter

“Come on, Mom. There’s no such thing as the Easter Bunny," a friend once said. “Think about it. A big, fat rabbit hopping all over the world? How is he supposed to cross the oceans? It just doesn’t make sense.” Although this precocious young lady had things all figured out at the ripe age of four, the idea of an Easier Bunny is a source of anticipation and excite­ ment for most children far into their elementary school days. The thought of this magical creature scampering around, filling baskets with yo-yos and Peeps represents only one of the many traditions 3 associated with Easter. While some customs stem from the religious aspect of the holiday, other decidedly secular tradi­ tions are shared by those of faith and non-believers alike in the celebration of Easter. Perhaps the most common Easier practice is that of egg-docoration. Every child should experience the messy process of dying and painting eggs in the days preceding the holiday. What better family bonding experiences than the intricate tasks of first decorating the FOR THAT NOT-SO-SECULAR EASTER shells, then consuming the week’s worth of deviled, scrambled and poached eggs that result from the activity? Egg hunts often accompany the festivities, although a careful tally of eggs should be taken to Easter Weekend Liturgy insure that no carefully hidden and subsequently rotting eggs surface at an obscenely later date. Another tradition in the Easter spirit often includes the obligatory watching of televised Schedule: parades and celebrations. Although for older family members parades may seem trite and boring, few things can compare in a child’s eyes to the first few years of floats and dancers seen parading around the streets of New York. The viewing of these glorious spectacles can bring out the magic of the holiday and provide yet Thursday: another worthwhile family activity for a good deal of the population. 5 p.m. - Mass of the Lord’s Supper Not only does Easter mark the arrival of the spring season, it serves as an opportunity for youngsters to showcase their new holiday 6:30 p.m. - Adoration in the Lady Chapel wardrobes. Masses are packed with little girls in flowery dresses and patent leather shoes, while boys deck-out in new tailored suits and ties.

An amusing (and sorrily seldom-practiced) cap-off to the evening is the heat­ ing of the aforementioned marshmallow Peeps in Saturday: the microwave to the point of explosion. What more satisfying activity is there than watching those little bunnies and chicks grow to impossible sizes before 9 p.m. - Easter Vigil Mass they finally condense back down to their former shapes?

liy BRIAN SEAMAN Scene Theater ( 'ritic

In the opening moments of the 1999 Eirst Year I’lays, the house lights were abruptly cut, leaving the audience in sudden darkness, wondering what exactly was happening. Only moments later, when a spotlight piercing the blackness was mis­ placed four or five feet to the right of the actress waiting for it on stage, did the audience realize the show was beginning. With this early blunder, the audience silently winced, w ondering if this was to be a bad omen for the course id' the evening. Thankfully, the tal­ ented freshman performers involved in Sunday night's performance proved that the evening would not only be markedly better than those opening moments, but also that their combined talents would add up to a very enjoyable and witty evening of theater. The evening opened with the wonderfully sar­ castic “Mrs. Sorken," by Christopher Durang, a caricatured portrait of a New York theater lady — the kind of theater patron who insists on loudly opening M N M's in the middle of a quiet scene. Dressed in a cool pink suit, Miehaela Murray- Nolan turned in a dynamically subtle perfor­ mance as Mrs. Sorken, and quietly charmed the entire audience with her crinkled glances and grandm otherly voice. II was truly a moment of simplistic glory on this actress’ part when after explaining that she felt nauseated by the dram a in which "... they use the T" word," she playfully glanced out to the audi­ ence as if in nervous anticipation of approval. This comedic monologue is the kind of drama col­ lege students are waiting for, most definitely not m the high (and usually boring) drama that is pre­ sented all too often on college campuses.
