There should be no parking on either side of Bernard Street in front of San Miguel School. This has been a no parking zone for some time, but it has become common for people to park there during the day and in the evening. The Socorro Police have informed us that from now on they will ticket any cars parked in the yellow zones on Bernard Street. Planned by the Catholic Cuarto-Centennial Commission of the Archdiocese, the conference launches activities and events to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Catholicism in the southwest. Twenty-four scholars will present papers.
Admission is free, but seating is limited.
A book with the conference presentations will be published at a later date. As part of a cooperative effort between Philips Labs, KOB-TV, New Mexico Tech Physics Club, and the San Miguel Middle School, in January San Miguel received a weather station that measures precipitation, wind speed and direction, temperature, barometric pressure, dew point, and amount of sunlight. San Miguel School is now a part of a statewide weather-net system allowing scientists to better forecast the weather. The Tech Physics Club donated the computer and a telephone line dedicated to the set-up. The data is gathered from the instruments and downloaded into the classroom computer where students can access the information.
