Folks,

    This is the last newsletter of the semester, coming to you just a 
little early, on the Friday I want to thank Nancy for all her hard work 
and patience with us all, producing the Newsletter. I want to thank 
everyone in the department for making a big effort to go to seminars 
and colloquiua - but please - lets all try to take it up a level next year!

    Next week, let me draw your attention to the 107th RUTGERS STAT MECH 
MEET, going on on Sunday-Tuesday 6-8th May, Hill Center 114 - which 
will celebrate the work of Eddie Cohen, Elliot Leib, 
Oliver Penrose - many marvellous speakers from across the world, 
including celebrated New Jersey Physicists, Natan Andrei, Premi Chandra, 
Freeman Dyson and Sasha Zamolodchikov. For more details,

In addition, next week we have two great seminars - a talk by Patrick 
Meade on Susy and Baryogenensis on Tuesday (HET) and a semester by 
Lucas Navotny on Optical Attenas on Thursday (LSM).  Of course talks 
go on through the summer, but this is it for the NewsLetter this semester.

    Signing out. Have a great summer everyone.

    Piers Coleman, Ed.
