Greetings.  Today's MMC resumes, introducing, as a test, orange juice.

This week we get a number of visitors --faculty candidates, announced by
broadcast email, and prospective graduate students--.  It is not entirely
clear who is wooing whom in this matching/hiring/admitting/choosing game,
but just in case Physical Plant has done its bit by darkening various 
corridors and staircases revealing their true dungeon qualities. Truth in
advertising.

Astronomical news: last week we had our Vernal equinox, and with it the
official beginning of Spring, which some of us actually experienced with
mixed snow and rain.  Perhaps more spectacular, comet Hyakutake (pronounced:
Hyakutake) reached its closest point to Earth this early morning.

So enjoy the spring --but don't put those gloves away yet--!
