Several members of the restoration learn and the director of the Vatican museums in Italy held a news conference to announce their findings and show film footage from the 12-year project now in its fifth year. The team also will present its findings monday at a conference at the metropolitan museum of Art.

The glue was applied by restorers probably in inc Isth Century to brighten the dirty frescoes which it did briefly before turning even dirtier Art historians say. Beneath the grime arc surprisingly Brilliant colors not the muted Brownish tones familiar to Sis inc Chapel visitors for generations. Now that we Sec the color we Cali a Michelangelo was a Man who thought As a Painter not just a sculptor in translation. One of the most revolution Ary colonists in the history of Western an said Kath Leen Wail Garris Brandt an Art historian and professor at new York University s Institute of Tine arts. Brandt said she discovered after the cleaning a previously unnoticed self portrait of Michelangelo As David fighting Goliath painted around 1509-10. She said the self portrait matches a painting by Raphael of a philosopher known to be a portrait of Michelangelo. The cleaning is being funded through an agreement with Japan s Nippon television w hich paid $3 million for exclusive rights to document inc restoration. Art historian John Shearman of Princeton University also has discovered the sistine Chape ceiling was severely cracked and had to be repaired before Michelangelo was commissioned to paint it in 1508.

The last phase to clean the last judgment behind the altar will Lake another four years ending in 1992, a of info sistine Chape before above and after restoration. He said. Contrary to popular opinion Michelangelo did not paint the ceiling while lying on his Back the restorers said. The misconception apparently resulted from a mistake by an Art historian of the time and because of a sketch Michelangelo made to show workers How not to b wild the scaffolding. Campus drinking Down studies find new York a Campus drinking has dropped sharply in the past several years according to two surveys released Friday but College officials credit better in formed students and not higher Legal drinking Ages for the sobering up trend. As Many students arc drinking now As five years ago about 88 percent. But they arc drinking less. And they arc Able to correctly answer More questions about drinking and alcohol abuse.

Females surveyed last Spring said they averaged 29 drinks per month Down from 39 five years ago. Gonzalez assistant Dean of student services at the University of Florida said the Daytona Beach vacationers were surveyed because they tend to be heavier drinkers than typical College students and thus would be the tar gets of Campus based alcohol education and prevention programs. Changes in their drinking behaviour might provide some insights into the effects of these programs and other social changes on this hard to reach group of students he said. The Survey was one of several released at a National conference on Campus alcohol abuse at new York univer sity sponsored by the inter association task Force on alcohol issues a National Campus coalition for prevention of alcohol abuse.

Thirty percent of College administrators surveyed be Lieve alcohol rela cd problems arc on the Rise Down from 54 percent in 1979. Twenty eight percent believed those problems had decreased in 1985, compared with just 7percent in 1979. Gonzalez s report found students seem to know More about alcohol use than students did five years ago Stu dents who were asked 10 True false questions about drink ing were Able to answer an average of eight of 10 correctly compared with seven out of 10 by students in the 1981survey. Both Gonzalez and another conference speaker Ameri can College personnel association president Dennis Rob erts said they doubted the trend toward stale adoption of a 2 year old drinking age was directly responsible for the decline in Campus drinking.
